There is a memorial (at least one) in Tynecastle High School, it featured briefly on Reporting Scotland today. It includes Tom Hunter VC and there is also a nearby photo of him.

From the post office archives I believe that the 3 Edinburgh post office memorials are located in a memorial garden at the Edinburgh mail centre, 11 Cultins Rd

There is a memorial not yet listed. In the HQ of the Scottish Midland Co-operative Society Ltd, Fountainbridge is a memorial plaque for 49 WW1 deaths. Source - Scran website (access to schools only I believe).

I'm pretty sure Scotmid moved from their Fountainbridge site a couple of years ago. Hopefully they took the war memorial with them.

I thought that but I thought it best to put down the info currently on Scran as it is always better to start with the known. There is a possibility that the memorial was left in the old building (now being developed) but more likely it is at their new HQ:

Scotmid

2 Harvest Drive,

The photo on Scran (which is copyrighted so not possible to post it here) does not capture the full memorial. It only has the first half-dozen names.

There is (or should be) a WW2 Roll of Honour to the 56th (St Brides Church) Scout Group, Edinburgh. Probably in scout premises at Orwell Terrace, Dalry, Edinburgh. One man is listed as died, Troop Leader Sgt Andrew H Cunningham RAF - 4th February 1941.

The Scotsman WW1 memorial plaque.

"The World War I commemorative plaque/war memorial which hung on the marble staircase at the Scotsman building in North Bridge Edinburgh."

From a copyright photo I have access to, it appears to be a bronze plaque with a marble backing.

I have no idea where it is now.

Just been reading up on the 3 X 3 panel windows in the Eric Liddell Centre (formerly North Morningside Parish Church) - a WW1 memorial. Apparently they have recently renovated. UKNIWM 57417. We don't have them on the project yet.
