Old milepost The 2 mile post on the B8000 Tighnabruaich to Otter Ferry road having had vegetation cleared, been straightened and repainted in 2021.   This style of casting is on many roads in the Dunoon area.  It is bolted to large boulder the size of a fridge lying on a bed of peat.  An attempt was made in 2010 to steal it and take it to Australia.
