NS2783 : Old milestone at Rhu
taken 12 years ago, near to Rhu, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
Old milestone at Rhu
The stone is set in a wall next to a bus stop on
NS2783 : Gareloch Road (see that photograph for context). The milestone is an old one; it is shown, at or near its present position, on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860).
"Dunbarton 10 miles / Garelochhead 5½ miles / Arrochar 15½ miles"
The spelling "Dunbarton" is one that was favoured by the Trustees of Turnpike Roads (for reasons that are explained in
NS3181 : Old milestone in Craigendoran). Compare
NS3477 : Old milestone in Cardross.
