Croy - Inverness District
Does not appear to have a UKNIWM listing.

The Croy war memorial is a tall grey granite celtic cross with tapering shaft, wheel-head and central boss, and with celtic knotwork patterns carved in relief on the face of the cross and shaft. The cross stands on a tapering pedestal which in turn rests on three low steps of rustic grey granite. The commemoration and names of the dead are listed in black lead lettering on the face of the pedestal, with the additional names of the WWII dead on the face of the two upper steps.
Sorry but I do not have notes of the exact location of this monument.
