Memorial photos today

I've been meaning for years to take these, . . this is Falkirk's memorial to our lads, . . it's at Dollar Park, . . in a lovely setting.



The word "Bairns" is our term for Falkirk born people.




The towns motto is "Better meddle wi' the Deil than the Bairns o' Falkirk".

The towns crest has these words " Touch ane Touch a' ".

So many brave people. Looks like you had better weather for your services. It was freezing here in the south with drizzle.

The Falkirk lion looks a bit Chinese to me, is there a story behind it?
