A granite stone by the roadside on the route of the National Cycle Route 1, to the south of Aberdeen marks a curious event in history. The Stone bears the inscription, "No. 6 Company Kincardineshire Rifles were the first corps of Scotch volunteers to go camp which they did at Clochandighter from 19th - 26th June 1869. Erected by their successors Buchan, Mar and Mearns BN of the Gordon Highlanders July 1930." http://www.gairney.plus.com/Trivial_History/TH-Aberdeen/Aberdeen-Clochandighter.htm A small eddy in the tide of the British Empire.
