More"The 51st Highland Division was officially formed in 1908 in a reshuffle of the Territorial Army, as a collation of all the kilted Highland regiments. Over the years that followed, until its disbandment in 1967, the 51st Highland Division served with great distinction. Their exploits in the Second Word War may have earned them their legendary status, but the Highland Division had been renowned since the First World War for their bravery and ability in combat."
In 2005, veterans of the Highland Division Association sought to find a site to erect a monument to pay tribute to the five Highland Regiments which no longer existed and had been united to form the 51st Highland Division. The Clan Donnachaidh Society kindly offered a site on their land at Bruar. The unveiling of the statue took place during the Clan Donnachaidh Annual Gathering on 7th October 2006.
In August 2018, the 51st Highland Division and Ross Bequest Trust - now seeking a permanent safe home for assets owned by the Trust - approached the Clan Donnachaidh Society who agreed to formally take ownership of the statue. During the 2018 Clan Donnachaidh Annual Gathering the statue was formally handed over to the Society, together with a donation to the Clan to help towards the long-term upkeep of the monument and site.
