Another royal jubilee of note!
This massive pink granite horse trough was erected by the villagers of Newburgh in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria's 60th year on the throne.
I doubt that the trough was ever intended to be used to water horses, or humans, since it has no opening for the necessary plumbing and the basin is only 4 inches deep.
The village gardening group now use the trough as a large plant container and installed this year's flowers a couple of days ago.
The other odd shaped stone was once used to protect the corner of a building from damage by passing horse-carts.
