This provides a good record which will relate to most war memorials in Scotland, virtually every parish named had, and still has, one. Although some of the parishes have united or merged under another name since the memorials were raised the original parishes still exist.
Mention is made in another post of the Boundary Commission changing parishes in 1891. As far as I am aware they have no involvement in parishes, then or now, since they concern themselves with electoral and census related boundaries.
A curious related example, which questions the accuracy of these maps, is that the Aberdeenshire parish of St. Fergus is shown as being in Banffshire. It changed to Aberdeenshire in 1891, yet the other areas which were in Banffshire before 1891 are correctly shown as Aberdeenshire. _________________ Jim
