Today marks the 100th Anniversary of the start of the First World War Battle - the first to involve all the Scottish regiments.
It's estimated every household in the city knew a family affected by the conflict - and the lighting of the beacon marks the start of a weekend of events commemorating the battle that called upon thirty thousand Scottish soldiers.
