Kirkcaldy War Memorial Gardens
Posted in Kirkcaldy, War Memorials at 13:00 on 20 March 2012
Apart from the War Memorials themselves there are two other memorials in the Gardens.
One is to the victims of the Holocaust.
The other commemorates Sir Sandford Fleming, born in Kirkcaldy and the inventor of Standard Time. The link (Wikipedia’s entry on Standard Time) says Fleming was Canadian but the one on the man himself is more nuanced. He emigrated to Canada when he was 17.
Sadly a few of the trees in the gardens suffered damage in the winter storms and have had to be cut down. The stumps are not really photogenic.
