War Memorial, St Margaret’s Hope, Orkney
Posted in Trips, War Memorials at 12:00 on 12 February 2023
St Margaret’s Hope was our last stop on Orkney as it was where we picked up the ferry for Gill’s Bay in Caithness. I mentioned it in 2017. Its War Memorial is in the form of a kilted soldier atop a tapering square plinth.
The front of the memorial is dedicated to the men of South Ronaldsay who fell in the Great War:-
