The Great War and Second World War dedications are on the facing aspect above:-

To the west and east sides are names for both wars:-

The north side has only Great War names:-

Burghead Well, it seems, is something of a mystery.

When we picked the keys up from the visitor centre situated above the harbour the custodian told us the well contained freash water but was tidal. Well it is near the sea and estuaries are tidal.

Burghead stands on a promontory sticking out into the Moray Firth. We visited because we had read of the ancient chambered well there.

To visit the well requires picking up the key from the visitor centre. This, it transpired, was hard by the remains of a Pictish Fort though to be the oldest in Scotland. Apparently about half the Fort was destroyed when the town was built in the early 19^th century.

Driving along the B 9040 on the way from Duffus to Burghead through the village of Cummingston I spotted this and of course had to stop to photograph it. I had never heard of Cummingston before.

It’s a simple War Memorial standing in front of someone’s house. Ten Great War names – including two Robertsons. One name from World War 2.
