Introduction
There are various memorials to the Lockerbie victims (windows, stones etc). This is the only Lockerbie memorial in the UK taking the form of a garden.
This is the principal memorial in Scotland, located off the A709 about a mile from Lockerbie, in Dryfesdale Cemetery. It comprises a semi-circular stone wall in the Garden of Remembrance, with the names and nationalities of all the victims along with individual funeral stones and memorials. It is laid out very simply, with lawn, flowerbeds and memorials. The Memorial itself is constructed of grey granite and arranged as a triptych.
