FOVERAN
UKNIWM Ref: 8582

Address
GATEWAY TO THE NEW GRAVEYARD
FOVERAN
GRAMPIAN
SCOTLAND

Type: GATE/LYCHGATE
OS Map Ref: NJ 985 239

These are up to date images of Foveran War Memorial. It has been cleaned and re-lettered. I am not sure that the " modern " gate is an improvement.

The inscription reads:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD
IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF FOVERAN WHO MADE THE
SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR
