Findochty War Memorial

The Findochty War Memorial is comprised of two distinct monuments commemorating those lost in the World Wars: a statue of a fisherman and an obelisk. The "White Mannie" statue, unveiled in 1959, depicts a seated fisherman overlooking the harbour and commemorates those who died in both World Wars. The obelisk, unveiled in 1922, stands on Schoolhill and is a tapering granite column honoring those lost in WWI and WWII, with names inscribed on tablets.

Highlights

Ferghas' Adventures

On a bright, sunny day, Ferghas embarked on a short uphill walk to discover the Findochty War Memorial. The climb was certainly worth it, offering great views stretching out above the charming harbour, and coincidentally, right next to a bustling golf course. He found the memorial itself to be a truly beautiful and remarkably well-kept monolithic structure, standing proudly against the sky. What made the site particularly poignant were the heartfelt additions: an array of vibrant, painted rocks carefully placed around its base, and numerous poignant poppy wreaths, all serving as powerful tokens of respect and remembrance for the fallen heroes it commemorates. Ferghas bowed his head to the pillar and took in the view one last time before moving onto his next location.
