Old milepost Just 2 Smith Patterson mileposts remain on the 6 miles of B6404 from its junction with the B6397 west of Kelso and St Boswells.  This one near Fox Covert has been fairly recently painted.  When previously seen in 2013 it was very rusty.   This area of the Borders was in Roxburghshire before the 1970s.
