An echo of the Great War.

This is the Seaforth Highlanders Memorial Cross brought home from the battlefields of France in 1924 and re-erected in front of the railway station at Dingwall.

The large wooden cross, fashioned from a shell-shattered tree was originally erected in the village of Fontaine Notre Dame in France in November 1917 in honour of the Seaforth Highlanders who had fallen at the Battle of Cambrai. With the efforts of Colonel T.W. Cuthbert, C.M.G., D.S.O. it was brought home to Dingwall in 1924.The rustic cross stands on a plinth of granite from the Ardross Estate. The panels have the names of the five officers and thirty-five soldiers who fell on the 21st and 22nd November 1917.

The inscription on one panel reads "This cross was brought home from France in 1924 and re-erected by the 4th Seaforth Reunion Club 1914-1918. In memory of their beloved dead. No burdens yonder, all sorrows past, no burdens yonder, home at last."
