Art Deco in Milngavie

Milngavie is at the end of a branch railway line from Glasgow. it’s also the beginning (or the end) of the West Highland Way.

There wasn’t much deco about. The closest to it was this shop:-

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.
