Floral Tribute

Flowers at the foot of the Memorial Plaque, in Princes St Gardens - in honour of the Scots from the Lothians and Fife who went to fight against fascism in Spain 1936 - 1939 :

" Not to a fanfare of trumpets
Nor even the skirl o the pipes
Not for the off'r of a shilling
Nor to see their name up in lights

Their call was a cry of anguish
From the hearts of the people of Spain
Some paid with their lives it is true
Their sacrifice was not in vain"
