Old fingerpost This is a close up of the top of the old signpost on the A84 just south of the River Teith at Doune. The shape of the post top, the size of the ball finial and the way the fingers were attached shows this post was made at the Grangemouth Iron Works. At a later date another finger, also now lost, had been added lower down the post.

Former tollhouse On the A84 south of Doune at the B826 junction is this former tollhouse known as Loch-Hills Wood which may date from about 1825. On the OS 1st Edition it is noted that there is a &#039;weighing machine&#039;. In 2009 it was lived in and well-cared for. By 2021 it was empty and deteriorating. However it is to be renovated, hopefully, in 2022. It is B Listed LB8412 and its Canmore reference is 363352.
