These two memorials or artworks are to be found in Craiglockhart. One is to Wilfred Owen and the other to some aircrew who crashed here in WW2. Read the story here-

Nice tribute to the unlucky bomber crew. Did Wilfred Owen have a connection to the area?

I grew up in the area and the building in the article was always visible as you walked about , waited for buses etc.
That’s a very odd looking tribute statue to the time Wilfred Owen spent at Craiglockhart Hospital with shellshock in WW1 ... did it work?
