Craigellachie War Memorial
Posted in Bridges at 12:00 on 6 September 2025
We’d bypassed Craigellachie itself on our trip north in 2023, though I did photograph Thomas Telford’s bridge there.
On our way back down last July I actually stopped in the village to photograph its War Memorial which is a tapering pillar on a square plinth with rounded pediment; the whole surmounted by a cross. It’s beside the main A 95 road through Craigellachie village. The pillar seems a tiny bit squint in this view.

A supplementary stone on the ground by the mian memorial is dedicated to Lance Corporal Norman J Duncan, Royal Corps of Transport, 22/2/1989, Northern Ireland:-
