This one is courtesy of my younger son who sent me the photo from his trip to Lochinver last year.

Lochinver is a village in Assynt, Sutherland.

Its War Memorial depicts a kilted soldier with rifle at the ready atop a granite column above a tapering plinth.

Here can be seen dedications to both World Wars. Second World War names shown below. (Great War names are on the memorial’s sides.)

We drove through Ardersier (located on that arm of the Moray Firth which leads to Inverness) on the way to see Fort George – which was shut.

Like the Memorial at Resolis this is a column with carved crossed sword and rifle enclosed by a wreath, all surmounted by an urn:-

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.
