Braemar Stone at September 11th Garden

A memorial garden near the World Trade Center site commemorates British and Commonwealth citizens lost in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden features a Braemar Stone, a rounded stone originating from ancient Celtic games, though this specific stone was not used in competition.

Sourced from the River Dee near Balmoral, the British royal residence in Scotland, the stone was transported to Manhattan.

It is displayed on a plinth inscribed "New York to Aberdeen," with the distance between the locations noted, symbolizing the British royal family's connection to the memorial.
