| Inch Church is at Castle Kennedy, outside the gates
of Lochinch Castle. The old graveyard and ruined church are inside the grounds of the
castle. The memorial is a bronze plaque decorated with thistles and roses which is attached
to what may have been the original door of the church facing onto the A75. There appears to have been a short avenue leading
to the road which is now blocked off and a new entrance made off the side road.
There is no memorial for W.W.II |
