St Michael, Edinburgh Castle

3D ModelNoAI

This timber carving of the archangel St Michael stands at 3.3 metres tall, with its large medallion engraved with a cross coming in at 5.4 meters and is suspended from the vaulted ceiling on the Scottish National War Memorial 9.3 metres above the casket that holds the Roll of Honour of the Scottish War Dead.

The carving is made of Scottish Oak and was made by the Clow brothers from a design by Alice Meredith-Williams.

The Scottish War Memorial opened in 1927 after the former North Barracks were altered. It is located at the North side of Crown Square, at the site of the church of St Mary, previously used as munitions store in the 1530s.

It is cared for on behalf of the nation by a charity that is administered by a board of trustees. To learn more about it head over to our website.
