Old milestone The plate of the Annan 10 milestone has come adrift.   The top right hand corner of the plate was broken off long ago and now more is lost.   Travelling towards Annan the milestone is south of Mousewald just beyond a lane on the right to Townfoot.  It is near a little bridge and a small lay-by.   As the plate has recently come off, the way these plates were fixed to the stones is clearly shown.
