March Stone 16 (plus cup stone)

This stone is located in boggy ground adjacent to summer house of the large house called The Policies, that is located off Bailleswell Road, at the end of Dalmuinzie Road. It is marked "16 ABD".

In 1780 the marker was described as an earthfast saucer stone. As shown here the saucer stone is adjacent to the lettered stone.

A slide of this image was kindly lent to Aberdeen City Libraries by Colin Johnston so that we could create a digital copy for public use.

The image was taken in the early 1980s when Colin worked as a teacher at Bridge of Don Academy. He led several current and former pupils, and staff members in an investigation into the location, physical condition and public knowledge of Aberdeen's historic boundary markers.
