Old Milestone, Noddsdale Estate, Brisbane Glen A strange stone being, at best, 12 Miles from Greenock. It does resemble, if a little pristine, milestones in the Greenock area, being cylindrical with a rounded top. 4 miles from Greenock might have been NS 3370 7413, NS 3076 7179 or NS 2261 7387. Or this MS is a palimpsest. Inscription: 4 / Miles / To / Greenock Milestone National ID: TBA
