People gathered in Edinburgh to remember those who died

Thousands stopped at 1100 GMT to commemorate the moment when the guns fell silent in November 1918 at the end of World War I.

Veterans gathered at George Square in Glasgow to lay wreaths and crosses.

Events also took place in Dundee and Edinburgh, where there were ceremonies at the castle and at Princes Street Gardens East.

The One O'clock Gun was fired at Edinburgh Castle to mark the start and end of the silence.

Scotland's most senior soldier, Major General Euan Loudon, joined the service personnel who took part in the ceremony at the castle.

Wreaths were laid at a Garden of Remembrance in the capital

The 150,000 Scots soldiers who died between 1914 and 1918 were remembered, as were the tens of thousands who died in other conflicts.

Below the castle ramparts, veterans and members of the public gathered to lay wreaths in a Garden of Remembrance in Princes Street Gardens East.

The man in charge of Poppyscotland, which raises funds for former servicemen and women and their dependants, said there had been a good turnout in Edinburgh.

The chief executive of the charity, Jim Panton, said: "Armistice Day doesn't fall on a Saturday very often, so it was good to see everyone mark a sombre and respectful moment."

Lord Provost John Letford led the two-minute silence in Dundee.
