Memorial Cottage

Situated on LOCHEND ROAD, almost diagonally opposite the Church is Memorial Cottage.

Standing in front of the cottage are the memorials for both the First and the Second World Wars. The cottage was dedicated on November 11, 1933. This is the only listed building in Gartcosh.

The cottage, known locally as the Nurse's Cottage, was originally built for the nurse of the Smith & McLean (the "Works"). The cottage cost some £800 to build of which, £500 was donated by the "Works" and it is understood the balance was funded by the Gartcosh Benevolent Society. The Architect was Gavin Lennox.
