Provost Gillian Renwick was joined by two local historians, one a relative of the deceased, to lay a wreath at the ceremony which remembered victims of World War Two.

David Wilson Homes recently constructed the memorial at its Boclair Mews development which was built on the site of the former Bishopbriggs High School. Its predecessor, Bishopbriggs Higher Grade School, was damaged in a bombing raid in 1941 that cost the lives of seven local residents.

Bishopbriggs Community Council, along with David Wilson, organised the ceremony to commemorate those who passed away.

Provost Renwick said, “It was an honour to have been invited to attend the ceremony and lay a wreath at the memorial on behalf of the people of East Dunbartonshire. 

I’d like to thank David Wilson Homes for building the memorial to commemorate those who lost their lives in Bishopbriggs during the second world war and for providing relatives, like Carol Primrose, an opportunity to share their story. The tragic events that took place during World War Two will never be forgotten.”
