About MeThis memorial is sited in Nigg cemetery, seven metres from the entrance gate to Wellington Road. This memorial takes the form of a Kemnay granite obelisk. On the panels of the memorial are recorded the names and places of origin of those who fell in both World Wars. There are no references to ranks or units, only to farms or districts in the immediate area, Abbotswell, Altens, Burnbanks, Charleston, Cove Bay, Kincorth, Kirkhill, Kirkton, Leggart, Loirston, Parkhead and Tullos. The names of the First World War fallen are on the upper part of the memorial with the Second World War casualties below. There are also several Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstones elsewhere in the cemetery.
