This stone is located in a field 130 metres north east of No. 32, near a stepped approach to Elrick Hill. It is marked "33 ABD".

The stone is near the head of the Blind Burn and where a track, originating at the Craibstone Road, turns west to head to Southside Farm and Clinterty House.

The marker was described in 1525 as a "gret marche stanniss markit with the sauchter..." A saucer stone remains to the rear of the lettered stone.

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.
