I have two small online photo albums of war memorials within the present City of Edinburgh boundaries. The first is the community memorials from the villages swallowed up by the city.

The second is of some other memorials.

As before if you want more detailed photos before I post them on this forum please let me know.

This monument sits at the top of the esplanade. I believe its been there for more than 100 years. I saw an old photograph from 1899 and this was in the background.

Adam, thanks for transcribing the names. The reason I have the pictures is that I own the medal to Peter Glen and when I learned of the memorial I was happy to add it to the information I have on Pte. Glen (which unfortunately is scant)

In case you are interested, here is a web page on him
