King Robert's great charter of 1319, allowed the citizens of Aberdeen to own the Burgh, the forests and all the revenue from the land within the borders. The revenue from the Freedom Lands is known as "The Common Good Fund".
The Burgh borders were marked by 67 March Stones the first being Alpha and the last Omega. The stones can still be found today, Alpha is near Old Ford Road on the banks of the Dee, whilst Omega is in open ground by the Bridge of Don.
March Stone 11 is located on Craigton Road near to the top of Jacobs Ladder, 36 metres west of 'Woodlands' entrance.
In 1698 it was described as a long stone and in 1780 as a large stone, again earthfast with a saucer mark.
