What is recorded here

Wilson Monument stands on Castle Street in Strathaven, a commemorative structure recorded without a clear period but marked to the nearest metre. It may have been built to honour a person whose name the town still carries, or to mark a moment when Castle Street first became the centre of local pride. Either way, the stones remain beside ordinary life, waiting for someone to read the name and remember why the town chose that spot.
