Andrew Durward is also listed on the Ford UF Church memorial which is now in Cranstoun Church, Midlothian.

What a great memorial. Never ceases to amaze the different types out there. |

When the doors are closed there is some great engraving on the outside of the cabinet but for some reason I did not photograph it.
This type of cabinet resembles the street shrines popular in northern towns in England. I recently posted a similar but more modest one in Largs.

The North Canongate School is no longer used as a school and is called Canongate Venture. It overlooks the new City Council Head Offices.
This is not my image, I took it from here
I will try and get one myself.
Good to see the memorial was rescued when the school closed.

Not all the names listed here are on the Canongate War Memorial.
