One of Glasgow's more unusual war memorials. Standing outside Pollokshields Church of Scotland, it was erected in the 1920s to commemorate members of the congregation who died in World War I. Its design is based on the Ruthwell Cross, an 8th Century Anglo Saxon Cross from the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria.
