The Highlanders (Seaforths, Gordons & Camerons) Memorial

A granite obelisk stands in the grounds near Mosstodloch marking the sacrifice of three Scottish regiments - the Seaforths, Gordons and Camerons. It's a solemn spot, the kind of place you find yourself going quiet without meaning to. The memorial commemorates soldiers from these Highland units, and if you're the sort who gets moved by regimental history or family connections to the military, it's worth seeking out. The location itself is modest rather than grand - you won't find crowds or visitor facilities - but that's rather the point. It takes maybe 15 minutes to pay your respects and read the inscriptions. No entrance fee, no complications. The real appeal here is for those with ties to these regiments or a serious interest in Scottish military heritage. If you're just passing through Moray on holiday, it's probably not a major draw unless regimental history is your thing. That said, staying at Cairnty Lodges & Glamping Pods - about five miles away - gives you decent access to this corner of the region without having to base yourself in a town. The memorial works as a quiet stop during a broader Moray exploration, pairing well with the area's whisky trails and countryside walks. Go early morning or late afternoon if you want solitude. The spot has genuine weight to it, which is something you can't fake.
