There are two stones numbered "49". The newer one is situated back of the pavement on the south west corner of Persley Bridge, near the A92. This is a replacement for the earlier stone which was washed away from its original site, east of Scatterburn. We do not encourage visiting the original stone due to its hazardous location. It is marked "49 ABD". 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.
