I've used Strathdon in the text not Bellabeg. I'd no idea where Bellabeg was and I just hope that it's ok to use Strathdon. Anne

Anne

You are totally correct, it should be Strathdon. It is sited at a road junction near a place named Bellabeg, but the Parish referred to in the memorial's text is Strathdon.

The details held by UKNIWM are now corrected to Strathdon.
