Day 327: Peace Cairn

 
 
The Peace Cairn was erected for the 1938 Empire Exhibition.
 
It has numerous shaped blocks of stone within it, on which are engraved
the names of the organisations & clans that attended the exhibition
which were deeply concerned with the real possibility of war.
 
 The modern steel globe on top was added in July 2004
& features the word 'Peace' in different languages.
 
It was designed by Elspeth Bennie.
