A Son of the Rock

Invergordon is a town on the Cromarty Firth in Easter Ross, Ross and Cromarty, in the Highland region of Scotland. In 1931 it was the scene of a naval mutiny, one of the few in British history.

Its War Memorial stands at the north end of the main street and is a tapering square column inscribed at the base, “1914-1918. To the glory of God and in memory of our gallant dead. Their name liveth for evermore.”
