March stones mark the inner and outer marches (boundaries) of Aberdeen, defined by marked stones possibly dating from 1698. The original stones were replaced by the present stones, numbered 1-48, in about 1790, the next group, including this stone, were replaced in the early 19th century. The outer marches are thought to be later than the inner marches.
