Neil M Gunn Memorial in the Heights of Docharty

A Scottish novelist most famous for the story "The Silver Darlings" has a memorial in his honour at a viewpoint overlooking Dingwall and the Cromarty Firth. This view of the Monument that takes the form of a rock boulder is towards Knock Farrel and the Catsback Ridge on the other side of Strath Peffer. There is a circular walk to the Memorial that traverses the edge of a large pond.

A view from close to where I parked a car for a day's walk in the forest. Knock Farril is the hill the other side of the valley. The long thin field on the left has chicken pens.
