The war memorial standing opposite the gates to Balmoral Castle, on South Deeside Road, Crathie, commemorates all the former Balmoral Estate workers who lost their lives during both World War I and II and to the people of Crathie.
It was designed by Dr William Kelly and sculptured by Sir James Taggart.
A small plaque beside the memorial informs the public that the memorial was unveiled by King George V on 3 September 1922.
