Tundergarth Church ____________________________________________
The Memorial Room at Tundergarth Church Situated in the little churchyard of Tundergarth Church, directly across the road from the field where the nose cone of Pan Am 203 landed on the night of 21st December 1988, this watch room has been refurbished as a memorial to all those who lost their lives in the Lockerbie Air Disaster. A copy of On Eagles Wings is available for visitors to see along with personal memorials and a visitors’ book. The churchyard is in open countryside just 3 miles from Lockerbie on the B7063 and in the place where so many of the victims were recovered which makes this Memorial Room well worth a visit. The watch room was built in the early 1800s at a time when the medical schools were unable to obtain human bodies for their students to study, except for those of executed criminals. As supply was short, unscrupulous medical professors in Edinburgh began to pay gangs such as Burke and Hare, to rob new graves. Many churchyards built watch rooms at this time as places where families could watch over the graves of their loved ones until they were no longer of use to the medical students. The names of those who died can be found in our In Memoriam page here. ____________________________________________
