Circa 1935. Small well to E of Finzean Bucket Mill (see separate listing), facing S. Pink granite rubble with finely finished grey granite plaque reading "IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH FARQUHARSON ESQ R.A. D.L. J.P. OF FINZEAN 1846-1935", bronze lion's mask water spout to base of plaque, small pink granite trough below.
This tiny well, beside the road which runs through the Forest of Birse, is in memory of one of Scotland's best known landscape painters Joseph Farquharson (1846-1935), particularly noted for his snowscapes. Farquharson's father was laird of the nearby Finzean Estate. Joseph Farquharson's paintings were often inspired by the Aberdeenshire landscape, including a painting of the Finzean Saw Mill and Turning Mill (see separate listing).
