I missed photographing this when I visited Huntly before despite it being very near Huntly’s War Memorial.
Christie Park is the home of Huntly FC, who play in the Highland League.

Entrance gates/turnstiles. These have an Art Deco styling:-

Christie Park from southeast. I had to stand on a wall to get the photos from which I made this stitched picture:-

It’s a tidy ground.

This cenotaph type memorial is located in Christie Park, Alexandria, Dunbartonshire. It is dedicated to the men of Bonhill Parish. Alexandria, three or so miles from Dumbarton, is the biggest town in the Vale of Leven. (Mail has been said to have been re-directed from Egypt stamped with the words”Try Scotland.”) Bonhill lies over the river Leven from Alexandria.
