This stone is located at the back of the pavement at 37 Craigton Road. It is marked '8 ABD'. This house has since replaced the garden shown here with a double drive way, removing the wall to the left of the stone.

Described in 1698 and 1780 as marked with a saucer. The original saucer stone survived until some time after 1929.

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.
