Scope and Content Scottish American War Memorial, West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh West Princes Street Gardens, on the west side of the Mound, were formed by the draining of the Nor' Loch in the 1760s. They were designed and landscaped by James Skene in 1816 as private gardens for the residents of Princes Street. The Scottish American War Memorial by R Tait Mackenzie in 1927 stands on the main garden walk below Princes Street. Entitled 'The Call', it shows a soldier in a kilt seated in front of a frieze depicting Scottish volunteer soldiers from all walks of life. 'The Call' was erected by American citizens of Scottish ancestry or sympathies in memory of the Scottish soldiers who died fighting in the First World War. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
