North Knapdale - Argyll & Bute, Mid Argyll
UKNIM Ref no. 9459
OS map ref: NR 790 910
The North Knapdale memorial is a grey granit celtic cross with wheel-head and bosses.
This is one of my favourites and is an exceptionally fine piece of craftsmanship. Its a copy of the famous Kildalton cross on Islay and its one of those memorials that just suddenly appear in front of you (seemingly in the middle of nowhere) as your driving on the road from Lochgilphead and the Crinan Canal towards Tayvallich on Loch Sween.

The OS Map Ref. for this one is wrong... it should be NR790910! As you say tho, it is
