North Lanarkshire Council appointed Covanburn Contracts to create a memorial within Strathclyde Country Park as part of Scottish Government’s Remembering Together Covid Memorial programme.
This was a high-profile project aiming to provide a lasting legacy for the communities of North Lanarkshire to remember the difficult experiences and loss that occurred through the pandemic, but also celebrate the coming together of communities and gains that were made along the way.
The memorial comprises a paved area surrounded by tiered concrete seating and steel art panels set into soft landscaping, to create an ‘outdoor amphitheatre’.
The works have included:
The Covid-19 pandemic affected everybody. Nobody was left untouched by the consequences of it. Many families lost loved ones. Many people’s lives were left unrecognisable. We all have our own very personal stories and memories of that time – members of the Covanburn team included. It was an honour for us to be appointed to create a memorial as important as this one.
