The Scottish 51st Highland Division monument is unveiled on 23 October 1994 on Vlagheide. That year marks the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the area. The unveiling is attended by a large group of veterans. Ten years earlier, a trip by Scottish veterans also took place. The driving force behind these trips and the current memorial is Lieutenant General Sir Derek Lang, the last commander of the division. In 1944, during the liberation of North Brabant, he commanded the 5th Battalion of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, which fought at Wijbosch and liberated Camp Vught and Waalwijk, among other places. It is a design by Scottish sculptor Alan Beattie Herriot. It is a bronze statue of a Dutch girl offering flowers to a Scottish Highlander in kilt with bagpipes. It stands on a block of granite from Scotland. A plaque lists the towns and villages the division liberated during Operations Colin (23 October - 1 November 1944) and Guy Fawkes (4-5 November 1944). It also features their motto in Gaelic, which reads: ‘La a bhlair's math na cairdean’. This means: On the day of battle, it is good to have friends. On 15 September 1996, the monument was moved and unveiled again in its present location. A hedge in the shape of their emblem (HD) was cut in front of the monument. From this acronym which could be seen on signposts wherever the division went during the war the Highlanders derived the nickname ‘Highway Decorators’. The monument symbolizes regained freedom and peace and is also in memory of all fallen Scottish soldiers. The communities liberated by the division during operations all received a replica of the statue in 1994.
