KEMNAY WAR MEMORIAL Its sides, back and three-step base are of rough hewn granite. The monument itself is a tall rectangular obelisk topped with a 'pitched-roof' shape from which projects a thin iron cross at right angles to the ground. Below this on the front are two carved panels, the upper of which has a Celtic cross in relief and below that a St Andrews cross within a shield shape. The memorial plaque to World War I is on the front while a side panel commemorates the dead of World War II. It was unveiled 24 September, 1922. Kincardine O'Neil War Memorial The Kincardine o'Neil war memorial stands on the main street in the village near the old church. It commemorates the dead of both World War I & II. It is a rough hewn standing stone onto which is carved a sword pointing downwards. This stone surmounts a rectangular base with inset plaques on the face. On either side are piled loose boulders. It was unveiled September 12th 1920. Kincardine O'Neil, street decorative feature The backdrop to the old restored St Erchard’s Well with the ruins of the old 1st Century Kirk across the road. Recent addition provided by Aberdeenshire Council along with traffic calming and more defined lay-by’s for parking. King David of Scotland Episcopal Church A corrugated iron church with truncated, gothic pointed cut out windows. A unusual bell support at one end of felted roof. Now becoming rare corrugated iron buildings were once something of a feature of the rural Scottish landscape. Village halls, churches, shops and houses were all produced in this material. Kinkell Kirk, Calvary Panel, replica Bronze metal panel built into the north wall of Kinkell Church, showing the crucifixion, a figure of the Virgin Mary and an Angel. This is a replica of the original of 1525, which was lost. It bears the initials of Alexander Galloway, Rector of Kinkell Kinord Stone A large class III Pictish cross slab in pink granite 6 feet 3 inches high by 3 feet 1 inch wide carved on one face. Kintore 1 class I Pictish stone discovered underground in the churchyard (re used as a gravecover?). Now stands near the churchyard wall in a recess to the right of the entrance. The South face bears a triple-disc ('cauldron') symbol under a salmon symbol. The North face bears a crescent and v rod over the symbol known as the 'elephant' or the 'Pictish beast'. The South side of the stone is noticably better carved and may be by a different hand and at a different date. There are 4 stones known from Kintore. Kintore 4 is now in Inverurie museum a few miles away. 2 and 3 are in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Kintore 4 A class I Pictish stone found in a garden in Kintore in 1974 at NJ790162 now in Inverurie museum it has a well executed Pictish beast and a rectangular symbol of which this is the only known occurence, also a plain mirror but no comb. Kirkside House Gatepiers Probably early 19th century. Four ashlar piers, inner piers with eagle finials, outer pair with acorns (according to LBR but they look more like cones to me). category c listed. piers also bear armorial decorations. Kirkton of Bourtie Recumbent Stone Circle The remains of this recumbent stone circle are situated in a cultivated field and comprise the recumbent, the E flanker, and two stones on the W arc. All the stones are of granite, the recumbent measuring 5.1m in length by 1.9m in height and 1.7m in thickness. The E flanker measures 2.9m in height by 1.45m in breadth and 1m in thickness. A large void beneath the E end of the recumbent has been filled in antiquity with a large boulder. The erect stones on the WSW and WNW of the circle measure 1.7m and 2.2m in height respectively. RCAHMS Remains of a stone circle; consisting of the recumbent, now broken, the east flanker and two other stones. The recumbent lies on a definite mound and at one time the circle was -rudely paved-. The area has been used as a dump for field clearance & has been ploughed. Now there is no trace of paving or any internal features. SMR While the circle itself is fragmentary, it has perhaps the largest recumbent stone known, the setting makes it worth a visit and the nearby occurrence of 3 early carved stones (although not in situ, they have probably not travelled far) suggests an important site with a long continuity of respect. Knowes War Memorial Category B listed Dominating the skyline in Macduff, the Knowes War Memorial stands 70 ft in height, an octagonal granite tower, erected in 1921 to commemorate those who gave their lives in the The Great War, 1914-1918. It commemorates the dead from both World War I & II. It is a tall slender octagonal 5-stage tower of tooled grey granite, bullfaced at lower stages, on stepped based. There are tooled granite dressings with the lower stage defined by cornice with keystoned occulus immediately below in each face. Each face (except that with recessed doorway) has polished grey granite plaques inscribed with names of fallen of 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars. There are rectangular barred openings, to light internal stair, in alternate faces of the 1st stage and randomly sited in 2nd and 3 stages. A deep crenellated wallhead stage is delineated by a blocked cornice with blind crosslet in each face. There is a plaque stating that the foundation stone was laid on 15 April 1920 by Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught, who was a daughter of the Duke of Fife.
