Description

Culnacnoc or Valtos War Memorial was erected in front of the old Valtos school in memory of the seven former pupils who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. It was unveiled on the 9th August 1921 by Captain Martin Nicol of Glendale. The Memorial, which is almost eleven feet high, cost £150, and this cost was met by subscriptions from former pupils at home and abroad. This War Memorial also commemorates the numbers of people from the area who served in defence of Home, Country and King during the Great War. (extracted from the Roll of Honour for Skye and Lochalsh compiled by Graham Ross, circa 2000, a copy of which may be viewed at Dualchas Skye and Lochalsh Museums Service in Portree, Isle of Skye) The War Memorial is situated at the side of the A855 at Valtos.
