There is a memorial to the 3000 men who died on the Arctic convoys near the Cove Battery. It was unveiled on 10th September 1999.

"IN MEMORY OF OUR SHIPMATES

WHO SAILED FROM LOCH EWE

DURING WORLD WAR II.

THEY LOST THEIR LIVES

IN THE BITTER ARCTIC SEA BATTLES

TO NORTH RUSSIA

AND NEVER RETURNED

TO THIS TRANQUIL ANCHORAGE.

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM."
