The monument, a rugged cairn of large rocks, is almost completely covered by ivy but the presence of a wreath suggests it is still in peoples' thoughts. To reach it involves a steep flight of steps and it cannot be all that easy for any veterans to attend services here. This http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/warmemscot-ftopic275-15.html includes an article from the Blairgowrie Advertiser of 18th Sept, 1920 describing the inauguration of the memorial and also a picture of it when free of ivy.
