A World War II memorial in Bishopbriggs has been unveiled to remember victims of the war.
The memorial was dedicated by David Wilson Homes within its Boclair Mews development in the town, constructed on the former Bishopbriggs High School site.
The school's predecessor, Bishopbriggs Higher Grade School, was damaged in a 1941 bombing raid that claimed the lives of seven residents.
The memorial was unveiled at a ceremony organised by Bishopbriggs Community Council and David Wilson, attended by Provost Gillian Renwick and local historians.
It is made from stones reclaimed from the nearby Crosshill House and railings from the school that still bear wartime damage.
Scotland, said: "We’re privileged to be involved in such a touching ceremony to honour those that sadly passed away.
David Scott, managing director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes West"Building this memorial on the grounds of our Boclair Mews development will give the community a space to pay their respects and remember the victims of such a tragedy."
Provost Renwick, who laid a wreath at the site, said: "As provost, it was an honour to have been invited to attend the ceremony and lay a wreath at the memorial on behalf of the people of East Dunbartonshire.
"I’d like to thank David Wilson Homes for building the memorial to commemorate those who lost their lives in Bishopbriggs during the Second World War and for providing relatives, like Carol Primrose, an opportunity to share their story.
"The tragic events that took place during World War Two will never be forgotten."
The ceremony was followed by a gathering at Bishopbriggs Library.
East Dunbartonshire councillors, local representatives, and senior history pupils from Bishopbriggs Academy and Turnbull High School were in attendance.
