Monument Polish Armed Forces

The inscription reads:

This memorial is dedicated to the Polish Forces who came to Scotland during the Second World War to join with British Service Men and Women in the fight against tyranny and the slaughter of innocent human beings.
It is also a celebration of the wealth of Polish culture which graces this land, and of the friendship and love shared between the peoples of Poland and Scotland.
Beneath this plaque is placed a time capsule, to be recovered on 29th August 2097.
It contains letters, memorabilia and the hopes of a generation who live in peaceful harmony — a peace created by those whose sacrifices will always be remembered.
