Kilmaluag War Memorial
This small war memorial is set into the gable end (which is all that remains) of St Moluag's Church at Kilmaluag in the north of the Trotternish Peninsula, Skye.. It's an isolated area even now and in 1914-18 even more so, yet all these men from a tiny community lost their lives either at sea or in a foreign land. It's all so poignant when you consider that most of them would never have been off Skye in their lives, far less have visited a foreign country. The effect on a small community of losing so many men can only be imagined.
