Monument record MHG52519 - Boundary marker stone, Fort Augustus (11 of 12)

Up to 12 boundary stones have been identified in and around Fort Augustus. These are War Department (WD) and Board of Ordnance (BO) markers. They are believed to mark the "Government" lands of Fort Augusutus. Several are inscribed with the dates 1831 or 1857.
In a survey report by Harry Robinson the stones are numbered BS-1 to BS-10, matching the numbers given on a plan of the stones in the HER files. A list of the stones has also been compiled by local heritage group Cill Chuimein Heritage which uses a different numbering system.
This is listed as stone number 5 by Cill Chuimein Heritage. The location is described as the NE Canalside road, opposite the centre lock, in the garden wall of "Balgonie". There is another possible boundary stone in the back garden of the house. <1>
