   A total of 147,609 Scots lost their lives in the four-year-long conflict between 1914 and 1918. While Scotland had just a tenth of the UK's population, its soldiers accounted for a fifth of Britain's war dead. Or, to put it another way, twice as many Scots died per head of population than was the case south of the border.

   How many Scottish soldiers volunteered for the Great War?

   • Approximately 190000 Scottish soldiers volunteered for the Great War prior to conscription. It is estimated that roughly 190,000 Scots volunteered to assist the war effort before conscription was then mandated in 1916.
