Old milestone It doesn't look as if this milestone has received any tlc since I photographed it in 2008. It is near the minor cross roads leading south to Lagganmore and north along the line of the Old Military Road towards Stranraer. Another milestone for the bench mark enthusiasts.

Old milestone At the back of a quite wide verge, the milestone just needs to have overgrown vegetation removed. The hedge across the middle distance is on the lane that is a back, quiet way into Stranraer.
