Canongate Boys' Club Memorial at Skateraw
On the headland at Skateraw Harbour is a stone cairn topped with a wooden cross which is a memorial to the six members of the St Giles' (Canongate) Boys' Club who used to camp at Skateraw but lost their lives during the Second World War. The memorial was re-erected in 1980 and it was dedicated by the Very Reverend Dr. Ronald Selby Wright, the Founder Warden of the Club. The inscription on the slightly faded stone tablet reads 1939-1945 To the Glory of God.
