This stone is located in a field north west of Craibstone Golf Course, against a dry stone dyke. It is marked "34 ABD". The nearby burn is the Garlet.

The golf course was previously the fields of Greenwelltree Farm. The farm buildings appear to now house facilities of the course. Stones 36 and 37 are also at the northern periphery of the golf course.

This is the last stone recorded in 1525, as afterwards the marches followed a well-known highway, the Chapman Road. In 1698 a cairn was noted as standing beside the stone.

The Blue Book includes a photograph of the stone showing the Chapman Road in the foreground.

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.
