The Royal Scots Memorial Cairn in memory of Corporal William Bell and Private Richard Cummings will be held at 1pm on Friday 22 November 2024 at the Memorial Cairn next to the A9 just south of Dalwhinnie.
Corporal William Bell and Private Richard Cummings were killed on 22 November 1994 in a tragic vehicle crash on the A9 just south of Dalwhinnie when their landrover collided with a lorry while they were travelling from Otterburn to the Isle of Sky during a Battalion exercise. The Memorial Cairn was dedicated on 31 August 1995.

Please note that you take the obvious turning onto the National Cycle Route 7 and drive down stopping roughly adjacent to the Cairn. This turning is available to both North and South traffic.
The cairn is not easy to access so it is recommended that you wear suitable outdoor footwear.
