Dingwall Boer War Memorial
Seaforth Highlanders 2nd Battalion Boer War Memorial is located at the end of the High Street in Dingwall at map reference NH 55251 58684 on Ordnance Survey Explorer Series Sheet 432. The memorial was erected by the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers and men past and present of the Seaforth Highlanders Ross-shire Buffs, Duke of Albany’s in memory of their comrades who lost their lives in South Africa between 1899 – 1902.
The Monument is a grey granite pillar standing on a dressed red plinth of the same material, all on a base of hewn granite with a Celtic cross on top.
The Cross has a hemisphere on each arm. Then there are panels of a Celtic motif, and below that a representation of the Seaforth Regimental Badge, with motto. Also the word ASSAYE in a scroll, and an elephant under that.
180 names on the Monument are divided into ten lists, on three sides. These men were in the Highland Brigade, Seaforth 2nd Batt, at Modder River and the Battle of Magersfontein.
