**Memsie**, [Aberdeenshire](/source/Aberdeenshire), is a small community near [Fraserburgh](/source/Fraserburgh), Scotland.[1] On Memsie Moor there is a very large stone [cairn](/source/Cairn), [Memsie Cairn](/source/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](/source/Mormond_Hill), which was a very large listening post in [the Cold War](/source/Cold_War). These days the former listening post is used for [satellite communications](/source/Communications_satellite). The nearest [Kirk](/source/Kirk_(word)) to Memsie is in [Rathen](/source/Rathen%2C_Aberdeenshire).

The [House of Memsie](/source/House_of_Memsie) is located east of the A981 to the south of the community.
