Flower Delivery Lockerbie – A Town of Red Sandstone and Rich History


Located at approximately 75 miles from Glasgow and 20 miles from the English Border is Lockerbie, the first sizable town in the charming countryside of Dumfries and Galloway, found in south-western Scotland. In the past, it was also the location of the largest lamb market in Scotland. A large portion of the town was built from red sandstone and has town hall with a very interesting clock tower.

In December 1988, the world was shocked with an air disaster involving Pan Am Flight 103, when a planted bomb in suitcase exploded, killing the passengers, crew and some residents of the town. After the devastating event, prayer and Lockerbie flowers flowed. Today, a very well set memorial in the Lockerbie Garden of Remembrance is one of the most visited places in the town. The garden itself is beautifully done and locals and tourists alike visit the memorial site. People also send flowers to Lockerbie to pay homage for the victims. If you also want to show your respects but could not find flowers in Lockerbie, we can help you in this aspect. We are an online florist with the right flower arrangements for any occasion.
