A stone boundary marker has been erected on the summit of Dun Muir. It takes the form of a cylindrical granite pillar, 0.6m high, the top of which has been shaped into two sloping facets. One of these bears the word 'march', while the other is marked 'stone'.
This particular boundary marker appears to have been set to mark the boundary between the counties of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. It may be relatively recent in date, as it is not shown on maps of either county dating to the late-nineteenth century.
