Inverkip War Memorial

The white granite simple obelisk memorial was erected by the people of the village in 1920 to commemorate the young local men who died in the First World War.

The memorial was updated to add the names of local men who died in the Second World War.

It is located at the west end of the village, beside the main Greenock to Largs road in what is now a small area of parkland and lay-by which was created when the road was re-aligned in the early 1970s.

A WWI centenary memorial bench was added nearby around 2015.
