In 2014 Landward featured the Cabrach in Aberdeenshire which was depopulated during the First World War. The wild moorland area has been described as the biggest War Memorial in Europe but until now the area has not had a formal memorial to its war dead. After seeing the programme current Cabrach residents decided to build their own memorial. Dougie went to see it.
