Alpha Stone (colour)
A colour image of the Alpha Stone located at the north end of the parapet over the mouth of Ferryhill Burn at River Dee, opposite Old Ford Road. It is marked "A ABD CR".

This stone is a comparatively recent addition to the series, dating to the early nineteenth 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.
