Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park

The name of the park commemorates Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham (1852-1936), an adventurer and politician who was a steadfast advocate of Scottish Home Rule. At the eastern entrance of the park (shown in Image) is a stone which bears the text "Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park 'the Mony'" (see Image for a view of that stone). "Mony" here refers to a monument. It does not refer to the small stone just mentioned, but, rather, to a large monument to Cunninghame Graham which used to stand within the park. It was located beside the wooded knoll (Arthur's Seat) that can be seen ahead, to the left of the path, in the present photograph; the monument was unveiled there in 1937, and remained at that spot until 1981, when it was moved to Gartmore (Image). See Image for a description of the monument. The large building in the background is Image (earlier picture Image), which is all quiet on this occasion (during the school holidays). OLSP arose from the merger of Notre Dame (a girls' school – see Image) and St Patrick's (a boys' school). By the start of 2018, OLSP had moved to a new site at the top of Bellsmyre: Image Similar to Arthur's Seat, but larger, is an eminence called Image, which is located in the wooded north-eastern corner of the park; part of that area is visible at the right-hand edge of the photo; see Image for another view.
