March Stone 9

This stone is located at the back of the pavement outside 126 Craigton Road. It is marked '9 ABD'.

In 1698 the marker is described as an "eard-fast ston with an carne...". The 1780 description mentions 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.
