Commemorative Cairn
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.

Drinking Fountain
No longer does the fountain supply water in these days of Health and Safety, but it stands in an purely ornamental capacity. It is, sadly, hemmed in by a flagpole and an ugly triangular information point with no information in it, making it very hard to get a decent photograph. It was presented to the town in 1897 by Provost William McCowan to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession. It is of pink and grey granite.

War Memorial
The war memorial is in the style of a traditional market cross, with the shaft topped with a lion and mounted on a hexagonal plinth. Two faces list the names of those who died in the 1914-1918 war, and two more those who fell in 1939-1945. A door occupies one face, and the sixth face is blank. It was designed by John Wittet and built in 1919.

The Square
On the north side of the square are the Bank of Scotland, and to its right the Laird's Larder. This shop had not been modernised when it closed down in the 1980s, and for a time it was preserved as part-shop, part-museum, but it proved uneconomic and is now a delicatessen.
Edit: five years on, and no longer is there a Bank of Scotland in Aberlour, there is not one single branch of any bank in Strathspey between Grantown and the sea.
