NY5791 : Toll Pillar inscription at Bloody Bush

taken 11 years ago, 4 km from Dinlabyre, Scottish Borders, Great Britain

Toll Pillar inscription at Bloody Bush

Not easy to read, but it clearly cost money to cross from England to Scotland (or vice versa) here.
It was just as well that there was no inflation in those days. One could hardly cut a new table of prices in stone each year, as we would have to do now!
For a picture of the whole pillar in context, see NY5791 : Old Toll Pillar at Bloody Bush.
