Kit's Memorial on Temptation Hill

Kit's Memorial on Temptation Hill
Kit's Memorial stone near the old cemetery on the summit of Temptation Hill on the island of Raasay. The hill has recently been cleared of its former dense pine forest plantation, opening up views all around.

The inscription reads:
"In ever loving memory of darling Kit aged 19 years 1917. 'He giveth His beloved sleep'.
-----
'Sunrise over the hills of Skye
Sunrise over the sea
There's not a place in all the world
In which I'd rather be -
For I call it the Earthly Paradise
Because it's like Heaven to me
Raasay.' "

Kit was a Raasay girl who died of a fever. The stone was erected by her fiance.
