The memorial's location is marked on large-scale OS mapping. In this view, Newmains Road is in the background. The inscription on this side is as follows: "This cairn is erected by the Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Renfrew as a tribute to the men and women of the Scottish Air Ambulance Service who operated from Renfrew Airport in all possible weather conditions from 1933 until the airport closed on 30th April 1966, and who, by their courage, skill and selfless devotion to duty, drove the fear of serious illness from the islands. The plinth on which the cairn stands contains stones from the islands and other places which these gallant airmen and nurses served so faithfully."
