New signs for Korean War Memorial has been unveiled

New brown tourist signs were erected earlier this month on the M8 and M9 to direct tourists to the Korean War Memorial in the Bathgate Hills.

The signs were produced by ‘Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company’, a social enterprise that supports armed forces veterans with development and employment in Scotland.

MSP for Linlithgow Fiona Hyslop initially raised the installation of the brown tourist signs with then Minister for Parliamentary Business and Veterans, Graeme Dey MSP.

Fiona commented:“I am delighted that the need for and importance of motorway brown signs for the Korean War Memorial has been recognised, and that the signage is now installed, and it is fitting that these signs were produced by Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, an organisation that is doing invaluable work with armed forces veterans.

“The Korean War Memorial is a unique war memorial of national significance, the only such memorial in Scotland and indeed the UK, and both local residents and visitors to the area should be able to find it easily.“
