Hello Bill,

The following link might be of interest to you:

http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=1228&highlight=standburn&mforum=warmemscot

It's the War Memorial in Standburn commemorating all the men from Muiravonside and Redford killed in WW1, but there's also other bits and pieces of information on the village of Standburn.
