Old milestone

A newer photo of the 19 miles from Edinburgh milestone on the A701 at Romanno Bridge. Remnants of white paint remain in the incised numbers with white lichens on the sides and top. It is opposite the old school now the Newlands Centre. The sides and rear have faint horizontal broaching. It is marked on the 1897 OS at NT15704774 so was moved when the new bridge and by-pass was built.
