A free space page to record the recipients of the Victoria Cross who came from Scotland or were considered to be Scottish by parentage.

Some of these VC holders may have later emigrated to other countries so may also appear in other projects or free space pages.

The starting point for the list is Wikipedia - see the List of Scottish Victoria Cross recipients

Tasks to be done:

• Date of granting of award & copy of citation
• Profile created and bio written for each recipient (including parents/siblings/spouse/children)
• Connect each recipient to the tree
• Current whereabouts of VC medal
• Add to VC category (Category:Victoria Cross - surrounded by double square brackets)
