mbriscoe Posted 30 August , 2021 Author Share Posted 30 August , 2021 I was up that way a few weeks ago and the area around it was very overgrown but fortunately they have cut the grass since then! Notice the electric "fence" around the memorial! I presume to keep sheep and cattle away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 30 August , 2021 Share Posted 30 August , 2021 Beautiful photos. I am glad to see your war memorial photos back again. Can someone translate the Gaelic inscription please? RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbriscoe Posted 30 August , 2021 Author Share Posted 30 August , 2021 Thanks, not being doing many over the last year because of all the restrictions. Late last year I started trying to find memorials that did not have any images on the IWM WMR (or poor quality ones) and within range of a day trip. I could have missed posting some here, I will try and add some URLs for ones that have not been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My good lady wife was very co-operative in permitting me to stop and photograph quite a few, including a detour to Forres, and a stop on the A96 near Inverness Airport to photograph one at Petty Church, Tornagrain, which was rather splendid.

mbriscoe Posted 31 August , 2021 Author Share Posted 31 August , 2021 Yes, quite a nice one. Only problem is getting across the traffic to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 1 September , 2021 Share Posted 1 September , 2021 Sunday afternoon helped, and my wife parked in the side road, in the gateway to the churchyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
