Foveran Old Churchyard

Country: United Kingdom
Locality: Aberdeenshire
There are three CWGC casualties in this churchyard which is located a short distance from Foveran Cemetery on the road between the main Aberdeen-Ellon road and the coast.

According to the CWGC website 'the church has disappeared'. As the photo show, this is not the case...
