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.
