Title
March Stone 13
Description
This stone is located in the picnic area north of Hillview Crescent, Cults. The area is perhaps best entered from Cairnlee Road East or at the top of Cults Avenue. The stone is marked "13 ABD". The marker in 1525 was described as "ane gret grey stane standand on the top of the Blak Hill of Queyltis..." The 1698 description noted a sauser mark and four "witter holes...". The 1929 Blue Book includes an image of the stone on top of a stone pediment. The stone sits near the location of the disused Cults Quarry. These two pits were later used as refuse tips and then covered by the surrounding woodland. The area as shown in this image looks less overgrown than it would later become. To the west is of the stone's location in 2020 is Cults Skatepark. 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.
