Pupils uncover history of soldiers buried at South Queensferry A group of Edinburgh schoolchildren are uncovering the stories behind some of the men buried in one of Scotland's biggest war cemetery. Around 180 World War 1 soldiers are sailors and interred at South Queensferry but very little is known about them. As the centenary of the outbreak of the war approaches, students from South Queensferry High School are finding out the stories behind the graves. Using archives and with help from the National Library and local history groups, the S4 pupils have already managed to track down relatives of local soldier William Mackie. It is part of the Scotland's War project run by the University of Edinburgh. The pupils have been adding their discoveries to online records and it is hoped that by next year's centenary much more will be known about the fallen soldiers.
