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 'weighing machine'.  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.

Cows sit in a field close by an ancient Broch Undisturbed by the ancient Broch, the cows lie together awaiting whatever cows wait patiently for. The field shown is south of the road and the Broch, if it were visible, would be in the trees on the far left of the picture behind the field.

Former tollhouse Surveyed by the Milestone Society.  On Meldrum Road, Doune at the junction with the B8026 is this property named The Lodge.  Although it may have been a lodge for an estate it is in the prime position to be used as a tollhouse especially with the side bay facing on to the main road.
