Full Description
War memorial. The Fyvie war memorial stands beside the road on the southwest side of the village and commemorates the dead of World War I. It is of Balmoral granite in the form of a Celtic cross with interlacing decoration on the front, below which is a panel containing a downward pointing sword with a shield over it. On the back are panels with a scroll decoration. Below the cross is a squat, angled rectangular base of rough hewn granite, into which are set the names panels. This in turn stands on a one-step base. A subscription fund to erect a memorial was started in December 1918, and the memorial was unveiled 7 August 1921. It originally had solid blocks of stone at the lower levels which apparently had to be cut to move the memorial during a 1960s road realignment. Full transcription of memorial held in AAS Digital Archive.
