Description
A milestone in granite unusually wide for its height and most unlike the standard turnpike stones of the area, it perhaps pre-dates them? Included in part for its cultural importance, to the confusion of recent residents and travellers it is still very much a reference point for giving directions. Even when it has not actually been in situ. It has recently been reinstated and concreted in after road-works and the staining on the stone shows the previous ground level that made it very unlikely to be seen from a car. Inscription reads Fraserburgh 10 3/4
