Rhynie is a village in Aberdeeenshire, south of Huntly. We travelled through it on our way back home from our trip up north in August.

Its War Memorial lies in a wide green space in the middle of the village:-

It depicts a soldier in a great coat, in mourning pose with rifle reversed, surmounting a square pillar and base. There’s a good looking church at the end of the green:-
