Geography...or Lack Of It

Last weekend I had a stall at a vintage fair. One of the items for sale was a 'trench art' ring my great uncle made in 1917. He made it from the casing of a German shell and engraved "Ypres" on it. I attached a label to the ring giving its history, his regiment etc.
A woman tried it on but it was too small for her. She said it was a shame as she really liked it and then came out with the immortal line:
"I wanted it because we went to Ypres last year when we were on holiday in Scotland."
Can any of you Scots tell me if you had much trench warfare in Scotland in WW1?

Hiya Mrs. O - glad you're back - how you coped with your modelling workload leaves a mere mortal like me astounded! Isnt Ypres somewhere near Sensitive?
