Here are some pics of the Black Watch memorial cairn at Ticonderoga, NY. It was built in '97 and dedicated by members of that regiment on their way home from Hong Kong in '99. It is built entirely of stone from Scotland, and is situated just outside the "French Lines" at Fort Ticonderoga (Carillon), the site of the 42nd's famous assault in 1758. You can see the remains of the Lines inthe background of this first pic:
