Old milestone
This simple stone is at the crossroads in Tarves where the B999 turns to the north. For the traveller from Aberdeen the 3 refers to the mileage to Haddo House, now National Trust for Scotland property but once the home of Lord Byron's mother, Catherine Gordon. It is marked on the pre 1900 OS 6" map as is the 1 mile stone on the route into the estate from the Mains of Keithfield. A 2 mile stone isn't marked.

Braiklay
The farm buildings at Braiklay are among the trees at centre right. To the left, in the distance, are some of the large numbers of new houses which are threatening to overwhelm Tarves. The large boulder on the left is one of many, presumably cleared from the fields, dumped on the tumbledown drystane dyke.
