This is the memorial to the aviation pioneers, the Barnwell Brothers. The memorial is on the roundabout at the end of Causewayhead - 0.4 miles from Fraser's (http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com). To see the route click here Their engineering works were in Causewayhead Road. Between 1909 and 1911 they developed their aircraft and attempted to fly them down the fields opposite Fraser's. In 1911 they made the first powered flight in Scotland of more than half a mile on these fields. I will develop this a little further in my next blog, when I will show the plaque on the memorial. You may remember in our 27th January blog we said we'd be developing this story.
