About the memorial: In Garrabost a memorial garden is the war memorial for the District of Point. The garden is surrounded by a circular stone wall at the back of which is a raised wall with four granite tablets which carry inscriptions and names. There is also a dedicatory panel at the entrance to the garden. It commemorates those who fell in the two World Wars. The war memorial and garden of remembrance was created by the residents of Point on the Isle of Lewis in 2004. War Memorials Trust gave £250 towards the appeal to raise around £70,000. The stonework of the memorial garden walls is constructed from reclaimed stone of derelict buildings that were originally the homes of some of those recorded on the memorial plaques. This was donated by descendants. The 2019 Iolaire Wreath was fully funded by Point and Sandwick Trust. The charity, which owns and operates the turbines at Beinn Ghrideag for the benefit of the community, had been approached for a contribution but offered to meet the £2,200 costs of the memorial in full. Unveiled 2 November 2004 by Three grandchildren and great grandchildren of those either commemorated on the memorial or who served in WW1 and WW2 (see the Stornoway Gazette dated 4 November 2004); Dedicated 2 March 2019 by Revd Donald Macdonald; Unveiled 2 March 2019 by 6 children- descendants of those lost on the Iolaire
