VIRTUAL WAR MEMORIALS: VISIT OUR REMOTE SITES FROM HOME

Since the beginning of last year, visiting our war cemeteries and memorials across the globe has had to be put on hold for many. So why not take the opportunity to explore and experience some of our most remote sites across the world in a virtual war memorial tour!

Nowhere else in the UK is the challenge of access to war graves more obvious than in the Scottish Highlands and islands. Join Robert Ross as he checks on a single grave out in the far reaches of Scotland. He has to travel by boat from the mainland to get here and then must walk a couple of miles to the cemetery itself.
