Clean Pool was an important boundary marker between the parishes of Huntly and Cairnie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It has now been dried up to plant conifer trees.[1] Archaeological surveys at the site and surrounding area have discovered traces of cairns and other features suggesting a non-domestic use for this part of the landscape. It is described in the 1865-71 Ordnance Survey name book as "A large Marshy Pool situated in the Bin wood about 60 chains north of the Farm of Gibston, where (Local Tradition says) a party of Soldiers who had passed it from Some battle, washed themselves in it; hence it has been called the Clean pool, and is well known by that name."[2]
