The cairn was donated by Aberlour and Speyside Rotary Club and unveiled by Mrs Clare Russell, Lord Lieutenant of Banffshire, on 12 September 2012. It commemorates the 200th anniversary of the founding of Charlestown of Aberlour by Charles Grant of Wester Elchies, who named the new village after his son, also Charles. These days it is mostly referred simply as Aberlour, to the confusion of the occasional tourist.
