Digital twin of the Airlie Monument, Kirriemuir, Scotland

The Airlie Monument was erected in memory of the 11th Earl of Airlie who was killed in the Boer War on 11th June 1900. The ceremony of laying the memorial stone took place on 2nd September 1901.

The whole of the stonework of the monument was taken from Herdhill Quarry Kirriemuir except for the carved panels, which were taken from Corsehill Quarry Dumfrieshire. It is 65 feet high and is 1230 feet above sea level. The architect was Mr T M Cappon, FRIBA, 30 Reform Street, Dundee, the contractors for the whole work were Messrs Gray and Sons, Newtyle and the carving work was executed by Mr James Bremmer Broughty Ferry. The cost of erecting the monument was £1,300.

To be able to capture the top of the Memorial Tower we deployed one of our UAV’s and took around 200 pictures.
