A memorial chapel (warriors Chapel) was built in 1926 as a memorial to the lives lost in the First World War, designed by Sir Matthew Ochterlony. This was organised by the then Rector, Canon Albert Ernest Laurie (1866–1937). It contains rolls of honour from both World Wars. This chapel also contains the Martyrs' Cross, a small iron cross that originally hung in the Grassmarket opposite the gallows, and was the last object seen by condemned criminals before execution. The chapel ordinarily houses a painting by Alison Watt, a Scottish artist.
