Posted in Bridges, Trips, War Memorials at 12:00 on 22 July 2018
We couldn’t go all the way up to the Pentland Firth and not visit Thurso, the northernmost town on the British mainland.
This bridge over the river Thurso takes you from the east (left in the picture) into the town centre:-

The War Memorial is located in Sir John’s Square. Dedicated to “those from the parish of Thurso who, in the war of 1914-1919 laid down their lives for God and country and the cause of freedom. We thank God on every remembrance of them.” The 1939-1945 plaque lies below the dedication:-
