OS 1:10,000 map, 1973.
This boundary stone is situated on the boundary between the parishes of Cluny and Midmar.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 30 November 1999.
This granite boundary stone is set into the angle of a drystone wall 100m NW of Dalherrick Croft. Triangular in section, it measures 0.3m across its faces and stands to a height of 0.48m above a roughly hewn base, which is exposed to a depth of 0.9m. On the W and SE faces the letters Co are incised, probably standing for Corsindae estate, and on the NE face the initial S, probably for Sauchen.
The stone is depicted on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire 1869, sheet lxxii; 1901, sheet lxxii.NE), and the modern 1:10,000 map (1973).
