Kirkliston is a small town in West Lothian. I chanced upon it and its War Memorial, which is situated near the crossroads in the town, when I made a wrong turning exiting Dalmeny one day.

The memorial consists of a stone obelisk surmounted by a stone ball on a square pillar and bases with the square panels containing the dedication and lists of names:-

Dedication, “Erected by public subscription by the inhabitants of Kirkliston, Newbridge and Westerton districts to the memory of officers and men who fell in the Great War, 1914-1919”:-

Privates’ names for the Great War:-

Names of officers and non-commissioned officers from the Great War:-=

Names of officers and men from World War 2:-

On the way back from Dalmeny though South Queensferry I noticed a new memorial. I mentioned in this post that there was a lack of a proper memorial to those who died while building the Forth Bridge.

That omission has now been rectified.

The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890 or so and it has taken until now to commemorate by name those who died in its building.

Dalmeny is up quite a steep hill from South Queensferry (then turn right and keep going for about half a mile.)

The War Memorial is at the one road junction in the village.

This side shows Great War names.

The North side has Second Word War names including a woman, Dorothy Morrison.

According to a comment on the Scottish War Memorials website Ms Morrison was in the Auxiliary Territorial Service and is buried in Queensferry Cemetery.
