This stone is located in a field north east of Craibstone Golf Course, against a dry stone dyke. It is marked "36 ABD".

In 1698 a cairn was described as adjacent to the saucer stone, which was also described, in 1780, as being marked by a "P".

Stones 34 onwards are on the line of the old Chapman Road. The Blue Book states "In the wood between stone 36-37 there is an interesting section of the old King's highway - the chapman or pedlars' road of later days."

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.
