March Stone 39
3223 This stone is (likely) located at the north side of road, 50 metres east of No. 38. It is marked "39 ABD".
The road from Ashtown to the Newhills Homes has been substantially altered to make way for the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR). This stone may have consequently been moved.
On a different matter, the Blue Book states "It appears that this stone marks the original extent of the Lands of Craibstone in the direction earlier known as the top of the folds of Craibstone. The portion of Craibstone now within the Freedom Lands was a subject of controversy with the Town Council for a century."
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. |
