Elgin War Memorial, built by Percy H. Portsmouth in 1920 and unveiled in 1921. It is located on the plainstones in front of the West entrance of St. Giles Church (NJ26SW0015). It is in the form of a bronze togate male figure holding aloft a torch in his left hand, symbolising peace, and a sword lowered in the right hand, signifying victory. This figure stands on an ashlar plinth with a bronze plaque, which in turn stands on a curved stepped base flanked by low walls bearing two further bronze plaques. It commemorates those who died in WWI on the plaque on the plinth, and those from WWII are commemorated on the plaques on the flanking walls. It was unveiled by the Duke of Richmond and Gordon and Colonel C. F. Johnstone on 4th December 1921. A full transcription of the plaques is held in AAS Archives.
