Dalwhinnie War Memorial

Both Canmore and the Highland HER have the Dalwhinnie War Memorial located at NN 63780 83930 / NN 6378 8393 and Canmore says there is a second one at NN 63677 84846.

There is no war memorial there but there is a slightly raised piece of ground at the side of the road that possibly has a hollow at about NN 65786 83930. But behind it at NN 63795 83929 there is a large rock that seems to be on a concrete base but with no plaque on it.

I suspect that this must have been the original location of the war memorial and it was moved into the village perhaps when the old A9 was widened / re-aligned.

The current war memorial is at NN 63677 84818 which is nearer the corner than the position on Canmore.

The UKNIWM has approximately the correct current position.
