A Forgotten Obelisk near Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire
This obelisk stands on a hilltop about half a mile southwest of Castle Fraser in Aberdeenshire, UK. It bears no obvious mark or text to explain what it is for, and appears to have been forgotten about because it is now surrounded by woodland without any well worn footpaths and is largely lost from view.
