March Stone 51

This stone is located across the A96 using crossing then double back along pavement and up Deer Road. The stone is at the back of the pavement, Clifton Road, opposite Woodside Primary School. It is marked "51 ABD".

The marker was described in 1698 and 1780 as a saucer 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.
