Macduff - Banff & Buchan District (Banff Area)
Macduff , UKNIWM Ref No. 8864
The Macduff war memorial takes the form of a castellated octagonal tower. As mentioned in other posts there are many coastal towns and ports who's war memorials took the form of tall towers erected on a hill or headland which thereby provided usefull points of bearing for boats returning to harbour.
The tower stands on the Knowes overlooking the town.
