Its great to see such a well maintained memorial and even better to learn more about the names on them.

I don't know if you know Gorebridge but it's not one of Midlothian's beauty spots. It does look after its memorials though. Midlothian council is pretty good at looking after its memorials, any time I've been to one it's been well maintained.
Cheers
