This memorial was erected to the memory of all those who worked in the Plean collieries and especially as a memorial to the 1922 East Plean Colliery disaster where 12 men were killed and 7 injured. The memorial sits in front of Plean Country Park's walled garden which can be seen behind the memorial. The sculptor is John Easton, who was born and bred in Plean.
