Families across Fife who didn't have their baby's ashes returned to them due to historic cremation practices now have somewhere to go to remember them.
A memorial garden's opened in Dunfermline Public Park.
At a private gathering to open the garden, Chief Executive of Fife Council Ken Gourlay reaffirmed the formal apology made to the families affected.
He went on to say: "A place of acknowledgement and remembrance is of great importance.
"Whilst the garden and sculpture provide the memorial place, the memorial tree provides the personal tribute to the babies.
"I hope families will find comfort when they visit.”
Melanie Malcolm spoke at the service on behalf of the parents and families and expressed what the memorial means to them.
Some parents have also chosen to add a leaf to the memorial tree, a personal message dedicated to their baby.
Upon officially opening the memorial garden, Provost Jim Leishman said: “The memorial garden is a credit to the parents and a heartfelt remembrance to their baby.
"The parents, the landscape designers, the artists and the landscapers have all come together to create a place that is intimately meaningful yet publicly inclusive.”
