Many of the original routes spreading out from the city of Aberdeen to other important towns have been changed and upgraded over the years. This 17 mile single-bevelled granite stone is now on the unclassified North Street from which it is still possible to follow a route towards Huntly, Keith and the Moray Firth. Another stone in this Grid Square is one of the rare double-bevelled stones giving mileages to Inverurie (In 1) and Aberdeen (Ab 17).
