WW100 Scotland Exhibition

100 stories. 100 unique prints. 100 young people.

The WW100 Exhibition brings to life 100 newly unearthed as well as well-known historical stories about the people and events which shaped Scotland’s unique contribution to World War One  

Download our free learning resources to accompany the exhibition here:

From individual acts of valour on the battlefield to naval tragedies off Scotland’s coast, from the thousands of workers filling factories at home to the brave members of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals at the Western Front, from innovations in areas such as surgery and aviation to the enduring work of poets and artists in the trenches, the project takes in a wide range of stories and subjects that will resonate throughout Scotland. 

Here’s what Girvan Primary School’s P7s and P6s thought of our WW100 Scotland Exhibition when they viewed it at the Grain Exchange in Ayrshire in January 2020: 

"My favourite story was the one about the dog training school. At the start they only had two dogs and they trained the dogs to go out to war and send messages. 

They found that really good so they sent out more to get trained. Then they started using slugs to detect mustard gas, so if the slug started to get distressed, they would know to put their gas masks on. I think it’s interesting to learn more stuff about Scotland, like where you live.’

‘My favourite story was Britain’s Greatest Rail Disaster. 

It was a London-bound troop carrier train that had overturned onto its side and was hit by a Glasgow-bound train and burst into flames. Over 200 troops were killed.’

Other stories describe innovations in surgery and aviation, the enduring work of poets and artists in the trenches, the lives of munitions workers in factories and the personal account of the brave members of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals at the Western Front.

Originally commissioned by the Scottish Government this exhibition brings together traditional print making techniques combined with innovative technology as well as unique artworks created by 100 young people from across Scotland aged 14 years upwards. 

The young artists brought together for this project were facilitated by the Scottish Print Networks in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.
