About the memorial: WW1 - Brass Plaque in wooden frame. Note that this is a later replacement plaque- the original is in Lady Haig's Poppy Factory, Edinburgh (WMO/191818). WW2 - Brass Plaque in wooden frame, below the WW1 plaque.. The two plaques are contiguous within a shared (marble?) frame, and the WW2 wording is clearly a continuation. So it is deemed a single memorial here. The church changed name in 1929 when the United Free Church reunited with the Church of Scotland. Lady Glenorchy North was alternatively known as Calton Hill Church after 1929. It was demolished (except the listed facade) in 1986 and the site is now occupied by the Glasshouse Hotel. At Greenside Church the plaques are behind the main door of the entrance hall of the Church. There was also a Lady Glenorchy's South Church arising from the complex history of divisions within the Church of Scotland.
