The Dutch Don’t Forget
Tuesday - Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm
Free admission
Low Parks Museum
Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.
Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.
This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Fiona MacGregor is a local artist and multisensory storyteller. Pre-Covid, Fiona’s company Freerange ArtFarm worked with children and adults with additional needs, using props, puppets, music and sound technology equipment to provide interactive art and storytelling sessions.
When lockdown put a halt to her business, Fiona turned to art commissions, and wrote and illustrated her first children’s book, The Brownie of the Butter Burn, early in the Covid-19 pandemic. She has a passionate interest in rewilding and protection of natural habitats and wildlife and followed up her first success with The Canny Capercaillie. She donates a percentage of sales from Capercaillie to Trees for Life, a Scottish rewilding charity.
Fiona continues to paint commissions and takes her storytelling sessions to groups and festivals.
You can find her work on Facebook and Instagram as Freerange ArtFarm, and on her website.
