Dunning War Comforts Committee Memorial

You'll find this modest memorial tucked away in Dunning, a small village just outside Perth, honouring the women who ran the local War Comforts Committee during the First World War. It's the sort of place that stops you in your tracks - a quiet reminder of civilian efforts that rarely make the history books. The memorial itself marks where these volunteers knitted socks, rolled bandages, and organised parcels for soldiers at the front, work that was absolutely vital to morale.

It appeals most to history buffs and anyone interested in the forgotten contributions of ordinary people during wartime. Dunning itself is charming enough for a brief wander, though there's not masses to see beyond the memorial and the village church. Give it 15 minutes on foot, though lingering longer won't hurt if you're the reflective sort.

Access appears to be free and unrestricted - it's a public memorial - though opening times aren't formally listed, which suggests you can visit any time. Worth combining with a stay at one of the nearby holiday parks: Broadslap Farm Caravan & Motorhome Club CL is barely a mile away, while Greenhill Farm Glamping sits just over three miles off. From here you're perfectly placed for exploring the wider Perthshire countryside and Perth itself. Not a headline attraction, but the kind of place that adds depth to a rural holiday if you're interested in local stories.
