| STANDING STONES [Gilcon Stone] | Gilcon Stone Gilcon Stone Gilcon Stone |
Courage's Survey of Aberdeen 1856 Mr. William Reid Superintendent House of Refuge & School of Industry Mr. John Roy, Schoolmaster |
075 | A Standing Stone from which some think this Suburb has its name - Others are of opinion that as Gilcon is generally allowed to have been a man's name, this was his place of residence, or town, as men's names are sometimes given to their places of abode Hence they think the original name was Gilcom's town. But when he lived, or what he was. whether Saint, Sage, or Savage, none can tell. There is no record concerning it, nor any tradition worthy of a moment's Consideration. The Stone is about 12 feet in girth, with four very unequal Sides, and stands about 8 feet above the ground. There is another much Smaller one at a Short distance. Perhaps they are of Druidical erection |

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
