Old milestone

Set into the stone wall on the east side of the A68 at the south end of Lauder. Plenty of lichens. A painted legend may once have read Edinburgh 26 Kelso 17. It is marked on the pre 1900 6" OS map but not on current maps. It is near lamppost AE1609.

Old milestone

A view of the old milestone set in the high, old stone wall at the south end of Lauder showing it between the Hydrant post and the street lamp. This area of The Borders was in Berwickshire prior to the formation of the larger administration areas in the 1970s.

Old milepost

Just northwest of where the road, B6362, turns left into Lauder is a steep banking bordered by a safety barrier. Behind the barrier the leaves and soil can be cleared slightly to reveal the top of a Smith Patterson post. Having passed the turning for Lauder, only the mileage to Edinburgh is displayed on that face. It is on the opposite side of the road to the other posts found between Kelso and the Lauder turn-off.

Old milepost

This shows the position of the milepost just behind the safety barrier. A steep banking goes down to a very narrow, winding lane leading from the A road to the B6362 into Lauder.
