Description

This route goes back over 700 years into history when Robert the Bruce (King of Scotland) gifted the people of Aberdeen the "Freedom Lands". The route was marked by 67 boundary stones that still exist to this day although some of the original stones have been updated. I have found all the stones and planned a route that passes directly past all of the stones while respecting some that are not directly accessible to members of the public. The route planned is accessible 365 days per year. The route is a mixture of urban and country running, on roads, trails and pavements.

The GPX file attached is from Strava as I have yet to run the full course in one go, this should be completed by the end of May 2021. Links are attached to provide you with further information.
