This stone is located in a field north west of Wynford. At the back of the field, opposite the junction of the Clinterty/Blackburn road and that coming the north east from the Craibstone Estate. The stone is marked "30 ABD". The line of the marches from number 29 has followed the Littlemill Burn.

An older saucer stone mentioned in 1698 and 1780 survived until some time after 1929.

The Blue Book states that the stone is at the confluence of the Tulloch and Blind burns, which at this point form the Black burn.

The book also states that an agreement, dated 3rd August 1597, between the Town Council and Andrew Fraser of Stoneywood and Clinterty defines the boundary stones 30 to 34.

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.
