Great photos BUT quite obviously two separate memorials here and will have to be split.
I know I don't get things right (quite often in fact Wink

) but I get a bee in my bonnet about this particular issue.
Grump over!!

Och - you're allowed a wee grump Mark, after all it's that season!

The big plaque with the three columns is definately Caldercruix, the smaller one is Longriggend. The single WW2 Plaque is anybody's guess.

If you want to separate the two into their own threads - go ahead (I don't know how to split threads). Embarassed

I do understand you're feelings as I get a bee in my bonnet over similar things. I just wish there weren't so many amalgamated churches everywhere! (No excuse though!!)
