March Stone 61
This stone is located adjacent to the gable wall of 35 King's Crescent, in the front garden of Viewton Cottage. It is marked "61 ABD CR".

It was described in 1698 as an earthfast stone with a saucer and key mark, this stone marks the junction of Inner and Outer marches on the north side. This stone is at the top of a steep path.

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.
