Pitlochry War Memorial
Posted in Trips, War Memorials at 12:00 on 1 November 2015
This is in the form of a Celtic Cross and stands in a small gardened area just off the main street.
Reverse view looking on to Main Street:-
The Names on the Memorial include a staff nurse, only given as Staff Nurse Macbeth:-
A new addition to the small memorial garden, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great War, is a pair of memorial benches of which I photographed one. Both benches have inlays of soldiers, barbed wire and stylised poppies.

Hi Don,
Thanks for looking in. The benches are indeed fine but I’m afraid I must disappoint you.
I was only visiting Pitlochry and took the photographs in my post – as I have of many other War Memorials. I have no idea who made them or where they might be sourced.
