A941 passing unusual monument

The monument is unusual in that it was, according to the inscription.... "Erected from surplus funds of a bazaar held to pay off the debt on six bridges built on the road between Dufftown and Cabrach".

An unusual memorial beside the A941

This shows the inscription on the memorial shown in NJ3729 : An unusual memorial beside the A941. Why is it unusual? Well, here we have some public expenditure and at the end there is a surplus. I would think, almost unique. (Of course in these more enlightened times it would be impossible: the money would just vanish back to the Treasury.)
