March and City Royalty Stone against the east facing exterior wall of Mrs Murrays Home for Stray Dogs and Cats, Brickfield, East Seaton, Aberdeen. There are two sets of boundary stones: the inner and the outer. The inner march stones displaying CR mark the boundary of the crofts that ringed the medieval Royal Burgh of Aberdeen. The numbered outer march stones define a much larger area known as the Freedom Lands. These lands went on to become the right and responsibility of the medieval and later Royal Burgh of Aberdeen. The name 'march stones' derives from the 16th century meaning of march as a boundary.
