UKNIWM 57957
Located in the grounds of Tundergarth Parish Church at OS Map Ref: NY 175 808.
This is listed by UKNIWM as a memorial to TERRORIST ACTS and the UKNIWM listing includes the following "A small rectangular stone watch room set in the churchyard of Tundergarth Parish Church. It has a small sash window and door at the front and a small stone chimney with a slate roof. Dedicatory plaques placed on the walls." and "This building was refurbished as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Lockerbie air disaster 21.12.1988"
The significance of the location is that the cockpit of the aircraft came to rest in the field immediately opposite Tundergarth church so this is the nearest location for a memorial. One victim is also buried in the churchyard.
There is also a book of remembrance inside which is listed as a separate memorial.

The watch room also contains a copy of the memorial book 'On Eagles Wings' and personal memorials.
