Description
The memorial to James Duncan, who was the owner and improver of the Benmore estate, is located off the road at Graham's Point. Erected in 1906 and designed by A. Macfarlane Shannon, the memorial features a grey granite obelisk set on a high plinth made of grey granite, which includes inset pink granite slabs. On the northeast face of the obelisk, there is a bronze low-relief bust of Duncan. The base of the plinth has drinking troughs for animals on the southeast, southwest, and northwest sides. Originally, the memorial functioned as a working drinking fountain with spouts and animal drinking troughs on three sides, but it is no longer operational. The inscription on the plinth has also been lost. The materials used in the construction include grey and pink granite, along with a bronze plaque.
