McDiarmid Memorial
Overlooking the town of Langholm the memorial was designed by sculptor Jake Harvey. It takes the form of a giant metal open book.
There is also a MacDiarmid Trail around the town of Langholm where this greatest 20th century poet was born and educated. His first collection 'Annals of the Five Senses' was published in 1923 followed by 'Penny Wheep, Three Hymns to Lenin and A Kist of Whistles'.
MacDiarmid is buried in a simple grave in Langholm Cemetery - Lair E73.
