A day for remembrance....

I couldn't attend a dawn service today , but I went down to a local cemetery with my dog .

as I walked up to the graves the stones are all facing inwards , the very first stone that i came across was an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander !

I took a few moments and paid my respects to another fellow Scot a long way from home .
