This is a bronze wheel cross on a stone column and dedicated to Great War dead. (The Second World War names are on the entrance gates to the enclosure.)

Above the name plaques and circumscribing the memorial is the inscription, “Erected in grateful and reverent memory of the sons of Auchterarder who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1919.” Below the plaques, “And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.”

Auchterarder is a town in Perth and Kinross. The Gleneagles Hotel is not far from it. We had a walk round the town after we had moved on from Tullibardine Chapel.
About halfway along the 1½ mile High Street is a pair of War Memorial Gates. These are dedicated to the dead of World War 2. Looking through the gates Auchterarder’s Great War Memorial can be seen :-

The Second World War names are displayed on the right hand gate:-

On the paving in front of the gates is inscribed 1914 and 1945.

We travelled on from Comrie by way of a misty Loch Earn:-

On the way back via Innerpeffray Chapel we then sought out Tullibardine Chapel, a property in Perth and Kinross in the care of Historic Scotland. It’s located slightly northwest of Auchterarder:-

At first we thought the chapel wasn’t open but the door in the photo below was slightly ajar:-
