McClef,

did you happen to get the text on the war memorial? I would assume that is for the South African (Boer) War, since the one Jock is armed with a Lee-Metford Rifle and is wearing a slouch hat.

Cheers,

Todd

Great pictures, McClef, thanks for posting. You have a knack for finding interesting things around Falkirk.

I wouldn't say knack Alex - if the interesting things weren't there in the first place it would be hard to manufacture them! They are there for everyone to find.

Great pics thanks for posting. Even the most mundane type of shot would be interesting to someone who has never been over the pond (my wife)

Well I hope they weren't too mundane! There is just a wealth of fascinating stuff waiting to be seen.

McClef,

Alas I must confess I didn't Todd. I assumed it was the Great War as it was that which inspired the bulk of war memorials to be erected. I bow to your knowledge of the rifle and the uniform, I was just so interested in finding a kilted statue that I didn't think about further investigation.

Absolutely not! These photos that all of you over there keep posting are captivating. Keep up the good work.

I did a quick search to see what I could find out and just came acroos some pictures that look earily familiar. McClef either someone nicked your picts, or you go by a different nom de plume on an online gallery! Alex has some stiff competition with photo tours. Keep up the good work.
