Old milestone

The 3 miles from Glenluce milestone is between Gabsnout and Galdenoch. It is on the banking opposite and between TP3 and TP2. The pin and cut benchmark can be seen on the top.

Old milestone

Looking southwards towards Gabsnout, the milestone is seen close to the road on the edge of the sloping banking. It has sustained some damage to its top front.

Old milestone

Facing north the mileage to New Luce is seen. On the OS map New Luce is written as two words. Although it is 2 miles to New Luce this was the last milestone spotted before reaching the village. There is an MS on the map north of Cruise but the stone is either missing or well hidden.

Old milestone

On the UC road from New Luce to the A75 at Castle Kennedy. It is a typical stone for this part of Wigtownshire, triangular with a narrow, flat front edge. The other face is S/7. It has been painted by a Milestone Society member.

Old milestone

The Stranraer face of the milestone on the UC road southwest of New Luce. Although leaning and on a steep verge there will be enough stone under soil level to keep it safe. Dating from the end of the 19C or beginning of the 20C these Wigtownshire milestones can have broken off corners or uneven edges.

The New Luce milestone 1 mile south of the village on the east side of the UC road to Glenluce. It is between Cruise Bridge and Cruise. It has been painted by a Milestone Society member.

Karl Logan

Old milestone

The Glenluce face of the milestone one mile south of New Luce on the east side of the UC road. The slightly flattened front edge on this style of Wigtownshire milestone can be seen and at the base some rough unworked stone. The bottom of a stone that was meant to be set into the ground was not worked.

Old milestone

This is the milestone between Galdenoch and Gabsnout on the UC road to Glenluce from New Luce. It has been painted by a Milestone Society member since it was visited in April. The cut benchmark and pin on the top have also been painted. To reflect the milestones on three minor roads radiating from New Luce, the Milestone Society ID has been changed from DG_GLNL03 to DG_NLGL02

Old milestone

Two miles south of New Luce on the UC road to Glenluce, this shot of the newly painted milestone clearly shows the cut benchmark and pin. Was DG_GLNL03 now DG_NLGL02.
