A Son of the Rock

Tillicoultry War Memorial is a grey granite pedestal with the figure of a kneeling female holding a wreath.

It lies in a separate area in Tillicoultry Cemetery by the A 91 road on the east of the town.

The WW2 memorial is a memorial garden with the names of the fallen on individual “headstones” (to right.)

An information board mentions among others Bessie Sim Hunter, whose grave lies in the attached cemetery, a Great War casualty at Inverness Naval Station but not listed on the Memorial (which is dedicated to “The Men of Tillicoultry.”)

The Great War Memmorial is inscribed, “In ever grateful and proud remembrance of the men of Tillicoultry who died in the service of their King and country in the Great War. ‘They were a wall unto us both by night and day.’ 1914 – 1919”
