This memorial is now located in what is now known as Partick Trinity Church, which is located at the corner of Lawrence Street and Elie Street, Glasgow.

The memorial is on the front of the communion table, which due to a redesign of the church is now located to the side of the main church, instead of in front of the pulpit.

Thanks to Rev. Stuart Smith for allowing us access.
