The March Stones mark the "Freedom Lands and Marches of Aberdeen." For their history, see the excellent guide produced by the City of Aberdeen: http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/web/files/LocalHistory/march_stones_01.pdf . There was a march (boundary) stone here in 1780 (long before housing was built), but the present stone dates from the 1920s. Most of the stones, including this one, are B-listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-20038-march-stone-no-58-in-front-garden-wall-of
