Milngavie War Memorial

I photographed the War Memorial for Milngavie and District when I was over in Dunbartonshire for the Raith game at the end of the season.
The memorial is set in a sort of square just off the town centre. The inscription reads, “Nobly they kept alight the lamp of liberty.”
I think the figure is holding a dove of peace in her hand but it’s hard to be sure.

I received a communication via my blog administrator from Diana Cameron-Shea who was brought up in Milngavie that the object in the figure’s hand is in fact a lamp (a widow’s cruse of oil – a Biblical reference.)
