The Courier & Advertiser : Angus & Mearns edition, Local news Page 5:
Friday November 12 November 2010 :
SPECIAL ARMISTICE EVENT AT NORANSIDE :
Angus staged a special Armistice event as inmates of NORANSIDE PRISON gathered at a NEW MONUMENT in remembrance yesterday.
For the first time , the open prison held a formal REMEMBRANCE DAY event.
Chief Inspector of Prisons , Brigadier Hugh Munro travelled to Angus to participate in the event and local councillors and visiting committee members joined Noranside Staff and inmates in reflection during the Two Minutes silence. "
The newspaper has a photograph " Brigadier Hugh Munro salutes the new Memorial Cairn at Noranside yesterday ".
NB
I recall that Noranside in my younger days was a SANATORIUM until around the 1950s or so before becoming a Borstal and now Noranside Open Prison for Category D prisoners .

It would seem that this location is for sale and is no longer a serving as a Scottish Prison Service Prison and is for sale . |

Seems that HMP Noranside open prison near Forfar has been sold to a developer for dwellinghouses so I don't know what has happened to the War Memorial that the inmates had during these recent years .
