Stone Soldier

Standing guard off the A9

This stone head was sent in by Douglas Beck of Edinburgh, who writes: "The soldier's profile can be clearly seen in a large gully by the side of the A9 (on the lefthand side when heading south) about 17 miles [27km] south of Inverness near the village of Slochd. We always called it the 'German Soldier', but I'm sure there is a local name for it. Although it looks 100 per cent natural to me, I have a vague memory of someone once telling me that German POWs were encamped in the area during the First World War, and that they did it while working on roadbuilding projects.
