A permanent reminder of the 250 babies and their families affected by the Mortonhall baby ashes scandal. For years parents were told that there were no ashes to scatter after the cremation of their babies. However, remains were being secretly buried in the garden of remembrance at Mortonhall Crematorium. The statue's surface is decorated with forget-me-not flowers.
