Burnett Ramsay Memorial fountain, Strachan Kirk |
---|
![]() A memorial plaque set into the wall in front of the new church over a now filled in stone arched space that would originally have held a waterspout. The fountain dedication is now badly eroded but was dated 1866, the same year as the ‘new’ church was dedicated and is “in remembrance of William Burnett Ramsay of Banchory Lodge” who died in 1865. A slightly later and far more ornate monument to the same man is in Banchory. More Information |
Carnie Memorial Fountain |
![]() A very simple inscribed slab of polished pink granite, pierced with a spout that presumably once tapped a spring and fed the stone trough below. Erected in memory of John Carnie who volunteered for active service in South Africa (Boer War) and died from fever on 11th May 1900 aged 22. Perfect position on high point of road with view towards Clachnaben. More Information |
Strachan War Memorial |
![]() The Strachan war memorial commemorates the dead from both World War I & II. It stands outside what was the parish church. It is small simple rectangular obilisk surmounting a rectangular base on a three-step plinth. There is some slight fading of some of the World War II lettering on the side. More Information |
