Their Name Liveth – an illumination project
See the illumination created by artist Ross Ashton honouring the 134,712 men and women listed in the Scottish National War Memorial Roll of Honour. The projection includes names of Scottish servicemen, munitions factory workers, Merchant Navy personnel, and overseas servicemen who fought on behalf of Scotland during the war, and will be accompanied by recorded and live music.
The projection set to Sir John Blackwood McEwen’s String Quartets Volume 1 by the Chilingrian Quartet, also features images and designs that tell the story of the global war which ended 100 years ago.
It promises to be a thought-provoking and emotional performance, a fitting way commemorate this significant milestone.
When will my family or friend’s name appear?
The projection begins at 5pm and finishes at midnight. Each name from the Roll of Honour will be shown on the Parliament building for around ten seconds. Names will appear in alphabetical order sorted by surname.
