Description
The Kitchner Memorial tower on the cliffs at Marwick Head on the west coast of the Orkney Mainland in the Orkney Islands off the northeast of Scotland. The high cliffs of Marwick Head, around 300 feet or 100 metres in height, are an important breeding ground for sea birds. The Kitchner Memorial tower was unveiled in 1926 to commemorate Lord Kitchner, British Minister of War, and the crew of HMS Hampshire who died here in 1916 during the First World War when the ship hit a mine.
