On 12th March 2016 a plaque on a 7 tonne stone plinth was unveiled overlooking Loch Kinellan, just south of Strathpeffer.

The news reports says it has 'over 60' names. Looking at the Regimental Roll of Honour that is hopefully 66.

This is the only image I can currently trace-https://www.tracesofwar.com/sights/89851/Black-Watch-Korean-War-Memorial.htm

This is the news report of the imminent unveiling-
