Title
March Stone 27 ("the Ringing Stone")
Description
This stone is located adjacent to Brodiach Burn. Parallel between Brotherfield Farm and Easter Ord Croft. Access is best achieved from Brotherfield Farm. The stone is marked "27 ABD". The 1929 Blue Book explains that the Ringing Stone, which is mentioned in all the old descriptions, was sited near this location, but has since disappeared. The book also includes a photograph of the scene, showing the nearby foot bridge. Origins of this intriguing name are unknown. There are 2 miles, in a northward direction, to the next stone, being the longest distance between stones. The Brodiach Burn was taken to provide a sufficient marker for the line of the marches. 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.
