What is the Fyrish Monument?
Driving on the A9, some 20 miles north of Inverness, high on a hill, a strange, almost alien sight comes into view. This is the Fyrish Monument, commissioned by Sir Hector Munro of Novar and built in 1782. It’s modelled on the gates of Negapatam in India.
In many ways, it’s a testimony not only to upheavals and the traditional Highland way of life but also to the involvement of Highland lairds and the expansion of the British Empire and the years following the failed Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and 46.
