The Scottish War Memorial Project (http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/) has been running since December 2006 and now has over two thousand five hundred Scottish war memorials recorded. The project is forum based and relies on volunteers to join up or donate images. The images are then freely available to anyone with internet access.
1,223 of the 2,500+ memorials are the civic memorials on our main streets. According to our records there are 21 civic memorials in Caithness but we only have photographs of 11 of them so far.
What we're hoping for is for locals to join the forum and submit their photographs of local war memorials. Not only photographs though, we also would like information on the men and women listed on the memorial and any information about the design and materials or location of the memorials. Basically any bits of information about the war memorials of Caithness would be appreciated.
So far in Scotland we have all the civic memorials for these areas:
Angus & City of Dundee
Dumfries & Galloway
Central Scotland - Falkirk
East Lothian
Highland - Badenoch
Highland - Nairn
Highland - Sutherland
Isle of Bute
Lanarkshire
Moray
Perth & Kinross
Scottish Borders
West Lothian
We also only need one or two memorials to complete these areas which would then mean we would have most of Tayside, Central and Southern Scotland recorded on the forum.
Aberdeen City
Central Scotland - Clackmannan
Dunbartonshire
City of Edinburgh
City of Glasgow
Isle of Mull
Midlothian
Highland - Islands

Adam
