St John’s Kirk, Perth was restored after the Great War by the architect Robert Lorimer to transform it into a memorial to the Perthshire dead of that war. (Lorimer also designed the elegant and iconic Commonwealth gravestone and over three hundred war memorials in Britain, Europe, the Middle East and South Africa.)

Within its walls are memorials to two earlier wars.
