The life stories of 72 men who died in the First World War will be published into a book.

Scone Remembers has received £6300 in funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to create the book.

To mark the centenary of the First World War, the project aims to bring together local people to help tell the history of the town.

Working with schools, youth organisations and local employers, the stories of soldiers and their families will be read by locals - as well as soldiers own descendants, they will also create an audio version of the book.

Dr Peter Olsen, Chairman of Scone Remembers said: "We are thrilled to have received the support of the National Lottery and look forward to taking our project through to the next stage."

Lucy Casot, Head of HLF Scotland, said: "The impact of the First World War was far reaching, touching every corner of the UK.

"With our small grants programme, we are enabling even more communities, like those involved in Scone Parish Went to War, to explore the continuing legacy of this conflict and help local young people in particular to broaden their understanding of how it has shaped our modern world."
