A small cache hidden in the peaceful Pleasant Valley Cemetery where members of the 42nd Highland Regiment (The Black Watch) are laid to rest. Located on Route 8 on the road to Miramichi.
42nd Highland Memorial Cemetery is designated a Provincial Historic Site to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the first settlers to the Nashwaak Valley area.
42nd Highland (Black Watch) Regiment was a United Empire Loyalist regiment that was granted land on the Nashwaak River after service in the Revolutionary War. This section of the Nashwaak Valley, named Pleasant Valley by the “Forty Seconders” was settled between 1784 –1787. Approximately 100 members of the Regiment made their way from Halifax to settle here. The cemetery, established in 1784, is the final resting place for a number of veterans of the 42nd Highland Regiment and their families. In 1967, the Black Watch [RHR] of Canada erected a commemorative cairn.
