[quote="mags"]Can you remember the lane that ran between the two of them - took you from the church through to Lady Mary Row at the bottom of Broad Street. Think it got the name of "the wee close", but can't quite remember if that's right.

I remember it being refered to as Parliament Lane.

I was just about to add some pictures of the Campbeltown War Memorial to the IWM WMR and doing a search for any dates for it when I saw this news item.

The Scotsman - Friday 03 February 1922
WAR MEMORIALS
CAMPBELTOWN. — A memorial pipe organ, gifted to Lochend United Free Church , Campbeltown, by Mr and Mrs John J. M'Eachran, of Cardiff and Belmount, Campbeltown in memory of their only son, Lieut Charles M'Eachran, Devonshire Regiment, who was killed in action at Kut el Amara, Mesopotamia, on 3rd February 1917, has been unveiled and dedicated.

I see the church was demolished, does anyone knows what happened to the memorial pipe organ or at least any dedication plaques?

Were there any other war memorials in the church?
