A granite stone by the roadside on the route of the National Cycle Route 1, to the south of Aberdeen marks a curious event in history.

The Stone bears the inscription, "No. 6 Company Kincardineshire Rifles were the first corps of Scotch volunteers to go camp which they did at Clochandighter from 19th - 26th June 1869. Erected by their successors Buchan, Mar and Mearns BN of the Gordon Highlanders July 1930."

A small eddy in the tide of the British Empire.
