The War Memorial to those men of Liddesdale who fell in the 1914-18 war was unveiled by the Duke of Buccleuch in 1920. The names of those who fell in the 1939-45 war, and those since have also been added; over 500 answered the call of their country. The memorial is made of granite and stands prominently in Douglas Square ‘Lest We Forget’ those who never returned.

The Logos, etc. ‘The reivers's helmet and a rare, wild orchid' is the logo of The Liddesdale Heritage Association.

The weavers 'houses' is the logo of the bicentenary Committee. The symbol of The Independent United Order of Scottish Mechanics is in the lower central square. The cobble stones, in the upper central square, represent the work done in the village by the Scottish Development Agency in 1988/89. Many thousands of daffodils were planted at that time and poppies grow wild on the waterside.

The Post Office was established in 1825. In 1837 Mr A Armstrong is recorded as ‘Postmaster’. Then Margaret Murray was Postmistress in the shop on the corner of Douglas Square (now J.D. Ewart). Later Mr J. Elliot, followed by Mr H Scott ran the Post Office at 1 Langholm Street. In 1954 the Post Office moved again to its present location at 12a Douglas Square, with the Rowan family in charge.
