Marks the older 'Inner Marches' boundary. That is, the boundary of the city prior to Robert the Bruce's gift to Aberdeen of the Stocket Forest in 1319.
At least, that's one story... As with all major real estate deals, there was bound to have been a bit of now-you-see-it-no-you-don't going on. And long spoons (tae sup wi the deil) and back room deals, and bad things made to look good, and good things made to look bad. We know the form...

Other Aberdeen is a broad church - discourse is welcome. You're welcome to disagree with us, but do be polite. We hate it when people aren't polite.
One thing we really hate is hostile or disingenuous trolling and so comments like that will be removed. Unless of course we can use Kung Fu to turn the hostile or trolling comment to our advantage or entertainment.
We'll also remove any comments which promote commercial concerns, we hate that too. Ian Jamieson - don't do that again. Your obsequious over-solicitousness is a dead give-away and shows you to be a lazy dishonest twat attempting to hide your true motivation. Actually - that's *very* Aberdeen.
Oh, and don't abuse the facility to comment anonymously, or we'll just remove it.
