Description
Large municipal cemetery on the outskirts of Stonehaven opened in 1902 to serve the increasing population of the area. There are about 1600 gravestones within Fetteresso New, the majority of which are constructed from local granite, the three illustrated are however later 20th century (80s and 90s) stones of imported black granite. They are of interest in showing a modern take on visual iconography, two of them illustrating occupations as do the gravestones of earlier times from some older graveyards. The grounds were extended to the north-west in the late 20th century with a new entry gate constructed for easy access.
