Here are the required pictures of the Lamont Memorial in Dunoon.
and the inscription:
In memory of
their loyal forefathers
who perished near this spot
the clan Lamont
dedicate this monument
September 1906.
During the civil wars of the seventeenth
century the Lamonts espoused the Royalist cause
thereby incurring the hostility of neighboring
clans who laid siege to the castles of
Toward and Escog.
Sir James Lamont of that ilk was forced to
surrender at Toward on 3rd June 1646. When in
violation of articles of capitulation and indemnity
signed by the besiegers, over two hundred
of the Lamonts were bound
carried in boats to Dunoon
and there murdered
