This memorial can be found in a quiet location on a rural minor road in Aberdeenshire, just over two miles north-east of the village of Fyvie in the north-eastern part of Scotland. The memorial takes the form of a drinking fountain, now disused, and is to the two members of the Chalmers family from the nearby rural settlement of Monkshill. The inscription facing eastwards towards the road reads as follows:

'I WILL GIVE UNTO HIM THAT IS A THIRST OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY
