Mormond Hill is a large hill in Aberdeenshire, Scotland not far from Fraserburgh. The village of Strichen can be found at its foot hills.

It also has a smattering of disused satellite dishes and masts on top, remnants from Cold War NATO communications and British Telecom having a presence on the site.

[edit] The White Horse and the White Deer

A white horse is depicted on the side of the hill made from white quartz that has been placed into position to make the shape. It is a war memorial to a Sergeant who gave up his horse for his Captain in battle.

The white deer was created in a similar way, with quartz on the side of the hill but was made as a wedding present rather than as a memorial.
