Description

This milepost is part of a series of similar markers located between Aberfoyle and Stronachlachar. It dates from the late 19th century, a time when tourism around Aberfoyle, Loch Lomond, and Loch Katrine surged, making the road between Aberfoyle and Stronachlachar a popular route for visitors. Positioned in the grass verge along the road, the post is made of hollow cast iron and features two angled faces. The column tapers to a faceted head, which displays two panels of raised lettering: one indicates 'ABERFOYLE 9 MILES' and the other 'STRONACHLACHAR 2 ¼ MILES'. Manufactured by the Grangemouth Iron Works, the milepost is painted white with black detailing. This milepost adds to the character of the roadscape.
