Old milestone On the A701 about 150m south of Halls Bridge over the Black Burn is this mostly buried milestone. MS marked on an OS map initiates a search and sometimes a milestone is found hidden in the verge which has built up over many years. But the shaped top of this stone identifies it as a milestone.

Old milestone The top 30cm of this milestone on the A701 south of Halls Bridge have been dug out and reveals it is 11 miles from Edinburgh. However the 11 face is towards the field so this stone may have been uplifted and turned round or moved from the other side of the road at some time. The 11 is deeply incised numerals.
