Romantically located, with Glenelg Bay and the hills of Skye as a backdrop, I think this is one of the most beautiful, and powerful war memorials in the country.

Designed by Robert Lorimer with the sculptor Louis Reid Deuchars, it depicts a Cameron Highlander alongside a kneeling female figure appealing to Peace. (Historic Scotland list description).

But it is this description from Mary Miers in the RIAS Illustrated Guide to the Western Seaboard that really breaks the heart:

"Closer observation reveals symbolism of an epic tragedy: a strangled dove, smashed crown and ruptured drumskin. The soldier looks more forlorn than victorious, and winged victory is holding her laurel wreath well out of reach."

Somehow Lorimer achieves something I don't think Lutyens ever did - the latter achieved remarkable and awe-inspiring imperial monumentality, but this reduces me to tears.
