Unlike most British towns and cities, because it was established only in 1948 Glenrothes has no war memorial to servicemen who fell in WW1 and WW2. The loss in Iraq in 2004 of two local soldiers from the Black Watch highlighted the lack of a war memorial in the town and in 2007 this impressive one, designed by Alan Bisset, was inaugurated on Remembrance Day in November 2007. Combining hard and soft landscaping, with six standing stones of slate, it is intended to represent Past, Present and Future.
