Kinkell Church, a ruined church in Aberdeenshire near Inverurie is a property in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

The access is up quite a narrow road and the church lies opposite a farmhouse.

One of its interesting items is the grave stone of Gilbert of Greenlaw who died at the Battle of Harlaw, 1411.

Reverse of grave slab:-

Set into the wall of the church is a replica calvary:-

Also set into the church wall is a sacrament house:-

In the grounds there is a memorial to William J Booth who died on active service at Salonica, 28/9/1918, aged 28:-

Kintore is a town in Aberdeenshire a few miles south of Inverurie. Its War Memorial is one of those that consists of a gateway, here surmounted by an arch and cross. The gateway leads into the churchyard.

Great War dedication. On left side, “In grateful memory of the men of this parish who gave their lives in the Great War,” names and 1914.
On right side, “‘Remember the love of them who came not home from the war,'” names and 1919:-

Reverse. (Pity about the trafiic cones):-

Second World War dedication. On left, “Also in memory of the men of this parish who laid down their lives in the World War 1939 – 1945,” followed by names.
On right, “They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn,” followed by names.

I note that the dedication says, “They shall not grow old.” In his poem For the Fallen, Laurence Binyon actually wrote, “They shall grow not old,” which has a subtler meaning. It has also been said in some quarters that ‘condemn’ is a misprint for ‘contemn.’ It seems that may not be the case.

Set in a garden in the town centre Inverurie’s War Memorial is a figure of a Highland soldier on a square granite base above a tapering plinth.

Dedications. “In proud and grateful memory of the men of Inverurie and District who gave their lives in the Great War 1914 – 1919,” with below, “At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.” Bottom dedication, “And of those who died in the service of their country in the Second World War 1939 – 1945.”

Inverurie is a town in Aberdeenshire.

The closest thing to Art Deco I saw there (and definitely 1930s in style) was the Gordon Highlander pub:-
