Old milepost This 20 mile from Salen post is just west of the A849 junction near a little bridge over a burn. It has been painted in recent years with yellow on the top but it was all white, albeit rusty. Many of these posts are set in soft boggy ground and have leant to one side over the 123 years they have been in place.
