Memsie, Aberdeenshire, is a small community near Fraserburgh, Scotland.[1] On Memsie Moor there is a very large stone cairn, Memsie Cairn, which has been opened, but nothing found inside.[2] There were two other cairns, but they have been removed.[3] Apart from the cairn, Memsie is near Mormond Hill, which was a very large listening post in the Cold War. These days the former listening post is used for satellite communications. The nearest Kirk to Memsie is in Rathen.
