The War Memorial was erected in 1922 in memory of those who died in the Great War, 1914-18 The ceremony took place on Christmas Day, 1922. The list of names was unveiled by Mrs Matheson, Crackaig, who lost two sons, a daughter and a son-in-law in the war. This clock tower was deemed one of the handsomest in the north.

The clock tower is made of sandstone from Clynelish quarry (closed in the 1930's), and a large amonite fossil can be seen on the front face of one of the sandstone blocks, to the left hand side of the commemorative panel.
