Lord Brocket's Memorial, Knoydart

This was the scene as we walked towards the Gleann Dubh Lochain on Monday last week when we were out for a 'stroll' in the rain.

Although the monument is quite beautiful from many angles, it was erected to the glory of Lord Brocket, a very unpopular landlord of the Knoydart Estate in the 1930-50s. He was a noted nazi sympathiser.

What a glorious photo and fave even though there is a monument to Lord Brocket!
I can’t help but wonder who would give him a monument?

[bkb in the city]

Surprised they would erect a monument to someone like that

[Issi Bannerman]

@illinilass @bkbinthecity I believe it was the family, and landowner at the time, who erected the monument.

[Kathy A]

I like all the layers of mountains

[Mary Siegle]

I'm guessing Lord Brocket himself may have had a hand in getting that monument built. Well, anyway, you have a stunning landscape here.
