Balmashanner Hill & War Memorial
Balmashanner Hill & War Memorial
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, the monument offers fine views over Forfar, 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 from the 174m (572 feet) on Balmashanner Hill.
