Forfar

A grand castellated edifice, the Balmashanner War Memorial was built 1920-1 to a design by architect Thomas R. Soutar to commemorate those fallen in the First World War. Known locally as Boammie, it is located on the top of Balmashanner Hill, a hill rising to 174m (572 feet) and a mile (1.5 km) south of the centre of Forfar. The monument offers fine views over the town, the Valley of Strathmore and to the Braes of Angus beyond. Nearby stands an indicator which gives the names and heights to the hills and mountains which can be observed nearby.

Constructed of local sandstone, this square tower comprises a substantial plinth, more slender middle-section and a corbelled top with a parapet and small projecting pepperpot turret.
