From Blair Atholl we continued north up the A 9 and took a slight detour into Kingussie.
In a green area to the east of the road through the town lie two War Memorials.
The first I came across was unusual, being particular to Kingussie.
Built of stone it is a memorial to the dead of Force K6, the Indian Contingent, Royal Indian Army Service Corps 14 of whom are buried in Scotland, nine of them in Kingussie Cemetery.
