About the memorial: Rankinston is the perfect example of an Ayrshire mining village. As such its current population of around 250 is perhaps less than a third what it would have been at the time of World War One. The war memorial is characteristically modest in size and design: a relatively simple obelisk in grey dressed granite, sitting on two square steps and surrounded by a fence in black-painted iron. However its size and simple design are very much in keeping with the local built environment, and the setting in the heart of the village continues to lend dignity to the monument to this day. Many of the names are on the Rankinston District Panel of the Colyton and Rankinston District War Memorial. (WMO/125129)
