The highest and largest panel on the shaft shows 'St Columba' (associated with the introduction of Christianity into Scotland), with a dove and a crozier, and the word 'Religion'. Beneath it is a smaller panel showing two figures identified as (Robert the) 'Bruce' and 'Admiral Wood' (Sir Andrew), the two representing 'War'; with the bottom panel having three figures identified as 'Livingstone' (David), 'Burns' (Robert) and 'Watt' (James), representing 'Peace'. The cross sits atop a plinth with the inscription and bronze plaque with six columns of names. There are three curved steps leading to the plinth, and two curved stone benches radiating from the back of the plinth. The benches have a carved detail of circular Celtic knotwork.

They gave their lives for their country and received each for his own memory praise that will never die, and with it the noblest sepulchre not that in which their mortal bones are laid but a home in the minds of men.
