The Great War Memorial, which thankfully survives, is on a tablet outside Moneydie Parish Church - now disused.
I managed to get a look through the window and it appears the only plaque inside, adjacent the pulpit, is to a former minister. However, there may be another which I just cannot see.
You will notice that Andrew Scott's name has been carved into the tablet after the memorial was completed;
An initial look suggests only one possibility but he is 1st Battalion B.W. not 6th:

Isaac may be on a few memorials, I can't remember offhand. He is certainly on the Auchtergaven WM (Bankfoot).

Thanks Mark. I should have tried a few more spellings.
