War memorials

We help care for over 180 war memorials across the Highlands. Our officers work closely with local communities to protect and maintain these important landmarks.

Local councils have the power to carry out work on war memorials in their area, even if they do not own them.

This law gives councils the right to act, but not a legal duty to do so.

If you have concerns about a war memorial, contact our Communities and Place war memorials team.
