Memorial Garden for James Maxton MP
This memorial garden, called Maxton Gardens, is just off Gateside Road.
As the information panel on the right explains, these are memorial gardens for James Maxton (1885–1946), MP for Bridgeton from 1922–46; the gardens were gifted by his wife. The panel provides further biographical details of the MP. A stone with a plaque can be seen in the wall on the left: see Image for a close view of it.
Some additional information not provided on the panel: James Maxton was survived by his second wife, Madeline (née Madeline Glasier), and by his son from his previous marriage. It was therefore Madeline Maxton who was responsible for gifting these gardens to the people of Barrhead.

Plaque in Maxton Gardens
For context, see Image, where this stone, with its plaque, is visible on the left. The text is legible, but is given here to make it easier to find (the first quotation is slight reshaping of 2 Timothy 4:7, and the second is from Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra"):
