I remember someone looking at the civic memorial and asking about Ross Eggo - I wonder if they know of the plaque inside the kirk? |

There is a second plaque in the same kirk. Presumably one has been saved from a redundant kirk but it is not clear which one. Apologies for the quality - I've never sorted the problem of using flash on polished brass.
