For those interested here is a list of what I think we've recorded. The numbers aren't exact because I haven't counted every entry but I think this is accurate enough and comes in at roughly 4,600 Civic Memorials Total= 1460 Aberdeenshire 150 Argyll & Bute 82 Ayrshire 86 Borders 94 Dumfries & Galloway 132 Dundee & Angus 72 Edinburgh 24 Fife 128 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 34 Highlands 166 Lanarkshire 74 Lothians 69 Moray 46 Orkney & Shetland 67 Perth & Kinross 113 Renfrewshire 24 Stirling & Central Scotland 69 Western Isles 30 Church Memorials Total= 1030 Aberdeenshire 18 Argyll & Bute 5 Ayrshire 28 Borders 75 Dumfries & Galloway 152 Dundee & Angus 142 Edinburgh 97 Fife 73 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 91 Highlands 34 Lanarkshire 82 Lothians 38 Moray 2 Orkney & Shetland 8 Perth & Kinross 130 Renfrewshire 26 Stirling & Central Scotland 26 Western Isles 3 Regimental & Unit Memorials Total= 331 Argyll & Bute 9 Lanarkshire 8 Aberdeenshire 12 Ayrshire 31 Borders 5 Dumfries & Galloway 12 Dundee & Angus 21 Edinburgh 62 Fife 14 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 45 Highlands 39 Lothians 9 Moray 9 Orkney & Shetland 6 Perth & Kinross 33 Renfrewshire 4 Stirling & Central Scotland 9 Western Isles 3 School Memorials Total=162 Highlands 3 Western Isles 2 Aberdeenshire 4 Argyll & Bute 2 Ayrshire 8 Borders 4 Dumfries & Galloway 26 Dundee & Angus 13 Edinburgh 25 Fife 7 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 29 Lanarkshire 5 Lothians 6 Moray 1 Orkney & Shetland 2 Perth & Kinross 21 Renfrewshire 1 Stirling & Central Scotland 3 Individual Memorials Total= 809 Ayrshire 40 Aberdeenshire 12 Argyll & Bute 23 Borders 49 Dumfries & Galloway 149 Dundee & Angus 57 Edinburgh 88 Fife 50 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 47 Highlands 67 Lanarkshire 45 Lothians 31 Moray 5 Orkney & Shetland 13 Perth & Kinross 109 Renfrewshire 7 Stirling & Central Scotland 16 Western Isles 1 Other Memorials Total= 639 Aberdeenshire 27 Argyll & Bute 13 Orkney & Shetland 15 Stirling & Central Scotland 21 Ayrshire 15 Borders 29 Dumfries & Galloway 84 Dundee & Angus 58 Edinburgh 46 Fife 47 Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 79 Highlands 45 Lanarkshire 38 Lothians 32 Moray 10 Perth & Kinross 56 Renfrewshire 17 Western Isles 7 Others Outside Scotland 118 Lost 38 Unknown 6 Total 4593 Back to top Adam Brown Curator Joined: 14 Dec 2006 Posts: 7312 Location: Edinburgh (From Sutherland) Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 9:55 am    Post subject: I think it is quite obvious that we have a long way to go in recording church and school memorials.

Adam Very much so. Some areas have hardly been touched by anyone with a camera. Perhaps we could mount a mass polite email query campaign to schools, colleges and churches in one area at a time and see what responses we get back? Derek.

There are some threads with more than one memorial so we can’t say for sure exactly how many are recorded here, but this is as good an estimate as we are going to get -unless someone wants to go through each thread and count them! 1468 Civic Memorials 1199 Church Memorials 888 Individual Memorials 715 Other Memorials 353 Regimental & Unit Memorials 198 School Memorials 188 Rolls of Honour 133 Outside Scotland 53 Lost? Memorials 11 Unknown Memorials 5206 Total The gaps are still in the same place as before. We should revisit Derek's idea because we don't seem to be making any headway in these areas.

If that is the case then we can expect to record at least another 600 church memorials. (The difference between civic memorials and church memorials already recorded on the forum, in areas where there are fewer church memorials than civic memorials, is 645) Adam Back to top Adam Brown Curator Joined: 14 Dec 2006 Posts: 7312 Location: Edinburgh (From Sutherland) Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 2:46 pm    Post subject: A nice increase in the past couple of months: Civic Memorials - 1471 Church Memorials - 1224 Individual Memorials - 916 Other Memorials - 729 Regimental & Unit Memorials - 354 School Memorials - 201 Rolls of Honour - 179 Outside Scotland - 134 Lost and Unknown - 61 Total - 5269 Back to top Adam Brown Curator Joined: 14 Dec 2006 Posts: 7312 Location: Edinburgh (From Sutherland) Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2014 2:07 pm    Post subject: The latest figures: Civic Memorials - 1491 [+ 20 since May] Church Memorials - 1300 [+ 76] Individual Memorials - 948 [+ 32] Other Memorials - 770 [+ 41] Regimental & Unit Memorials - 364 [+ 10] Rolls of Honour - 217 [+ 38] School Memorials - 211 [+ 10] Outside Scotland - 150 [+ 16] Missing / Lost Memorials - 55 [- 6 added to relevant sections above instead] Total = 5506 [+ 237] A lot of this latest increase is down to the sterling work John Houston is doing going through the Glasgow churches and schools and recording their memorials.

I'm pretty new to the forum, but I am based in the Brechin/Edzell area and might be able to help out a little for this county.
