Erected in memory of Eddie Parker and David Brown.

A modest memorial stands in the Dumfries and Galloway landscape, erected to honour Eddie Parker and David Brown. The setting is quiet, the kind of spot that rewards a short detour if you're already in the area around Dalbeattie, though frankly it won't anchor a day trip on its own.

Without detailed records readily available, this is one for local history enthusiasts and those with a personal connection rather than casual tourists. The memorial itself serves as a marker of local story - the sort of place that matters deeply to the community but requires some context to mean much to passing visitors.

If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Castle Point is closest at under two miles away, while Sandyhills Bay and the Kippford options offer seaside alternatives - you could incorporate this into a morning walk around Dalbeattie without fuss. The Solway coast around Kippford has proper charm if you want to make a half-day of it.

Best approach: ring ahead or ask locally in Dalbeattie itself. Opening hours and access aren't guaranteed, and the memorial's relatively low profile means information online is thin. Allocate twenty minutes maximum if you do find it, then carry on to something with more to see - the coastal paths or the town itself have more to offer families and walkers.
