Aerial Photographic Interpretation (10 October 1989)
NO12NW 36 From 115 272 to 117 275. The sinuous linear cropmark recorded by aerial photography 500m NW of Old Scone probably marks the course of an old trackway. It emerges at the SW corner of the field and close to the main road (NO 1145 2724), and climbs obliquely up a gentle SE-facing slope, before levelling out in the top of the gravel terrace and terminating at the edge of the field (NO 1173 2758). The character of the cropmarks in the SW corner of the field (NO 1148 2721) is uncertain.
