March Stone 50
3232 This stone is located in a very attractive area, but please note that the path is uneven. Grandholm and Persley Bridges are accessible by car. Cross Grandholm Bridge and take the cobbled street with the sharp right turn. The stone is against the wall at the corner of Don Terrace, Woodside, near "Jacob's Ladder"; the staircase is now closed to public. It is marked "50 ABD".
It was described in 1698 as adjacent to "the old found of the Dirra-dyke...".
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. |
