Welcome<br />
The 11 th of November 2018 marks 100 years<br />
to the day since the signing of the Treaty of<br />
Versailles and the end of World War One, a<br />
war widely referred to as ‘the Great War’ or<br />
‘the war to end all wars’, and one which left<br />
millions of soldiers dead and wounded. From<br />
Scotland alone, of the 557,618 men who<br />
enlisted in all services, 147,000 lost their<br />
lives.<br />
But what of those who did return and the<br />
families that they returned to? Things<br />
would certainly never be the same again....<br />
This exhibition examines the impact of World<br />
War One for the people of rural Scotland in<br />
the immediate post war years and provides<br />
an insight into the challenges they faced and<br />
the adjustments they had to make in a new<br />
time of peace, and how this has shaped the<br />
face of farming and the rural Scotland we see<br />
today.<br />
WW100 Exhibition<br />
Part of a large WW1 Exhibition will be shown<br />
in Eddleston Parish Church over the month of<br />
November. The Kirk Session are very grateful<br />
to Gillian Chapman for providing the material<br />

will be open daily from 11.00am – 3.00pm to<br />
allow people to come in and view the exhibition. Please look out for further<br />
information on the church notice board and on social media.
