Old milestone In 2008 this milestone in Kirkinner was set correctly with the front edge forward. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6045683">NX4251 : Old Milestone by the A746, Kirkinner</a>. On Wigtownshire milestones a W can be for Wigtown or Whithorn. But as this is the route between the two, Whithorn gets the small H extra. Once upon a time there was a railway from Newton Stewart via Wigtown to Whithorn.
