The Scottish Korean War Memorial (1950 - 1953) in West Lothian was opened on 27th June to mark the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War.
A wooden pagoda is surrounded by 110 Korean pine trees (one for every ten Britons who died in the conflict), 1090 Birch trees (one for each of the fallen) and picnic tables along a pathway named United Nations Avenue. This avenue is surrounded by 21 trees, representing the twenty-one nations involved in the UN force in Korea.
