Dalrymple Memorial, Townhead, Kirkintilloch
Image: © Raymond Okonski Taken: 15 May 2007
This memorial is located in Industry Street, and is in memory of the Dalrymples, and erected in 1905. The inscription reads; "Presented to the town of Kirkintilloch by James D G Dalrymple of Woodhead. Senior Magistrate of the burgh of Barony of Kirkintilloch. 1905". Whilst it might seem a good idea of self publicity, it is highly unlikely whether anyone would tolerate the self publicity of 'gifting' a memorial to yourself in your local town, but perhaps magistrates were held in higher regard then. On the other faces of the memorial are listed all the male members of the Dalrymple bloodline from the 1700's.
