The 12 ft high statue and plinth, with its magnificent views of the Trossachs towards Loch Lomond, can be seen from miles around. |
So we got a plaque, a stone plinth, a brass band, a pipe band and a day for the town to remember. |
The plinth for the statue will be some two feet higher than originally planned in the interests of health and safety and to prevent vandalism. |
Thieves appear to have tried to pull the 3ft-high lion down from its plinth on top of a 12 ft stone pillar. |
It will be unveiled during the interdenominational service on a new plinth and is the first permanent memorial to the dead. |
Here, before the altar, sits a glass display case mounted on a wooden plinth. |
