Inverness War Memorial - Added to Monuments in Inverness Crown and Haugh, Scotland

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

The memorial is a high red sandstone Celtic cross surmounting a square stepped plinth, with inscriptions on the shaft. It features two walls that extend as wings from the base of the cross, which hold plaques and engravings dedicated to the fallen from the First World War, Second World War, and Post-1945 conflicts.

The Celtic knotwork on the face of the cross and on the shaft, along with the town arms at the base of the shaft, add to its visual distinction. Pillars form the terminals of the wings, further enhancing its grandeur.

Unlike most memorials I've seen, this one commemorates various conflicts, including:

The First World War (1914-1918)
First World War - civilians
Second World War (1939-1945)
Post-1945 war or conflict
Cyprus Emergency (1955-1959)​
Gulf War (1990-1991)
Afghanistan (2001-2014)
Non-Combat Deaths

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 26/03/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
