Old milestone on the B993, Port Elphinstone
A close-up of the 15 miles from Aberdeen granite post on the B993 at the southern end of Port Elphinstone. Why Port Elphinstone when the town is not on the coast? It was one end of the short-lived canal from Aberdeen. It was operative for about 40 years before railways were built.

Aberdeenshire Canal, Port Elphinstone
The Canal was largely overbuilt in the 1840s when the Great North of Scotland Railway purchased it and built its Aberdeen to Inverurie line along its course. This section remained in water as a feeder to the Broomend mills.
