A cast iron milepost (NMRS MS 1012/1, no.139), one of a series along the unclassified road from Drimnin to Doirlinn, was noted during a pre-afforestation survey of the NE part of the Drimnin Estate. It is inscribed:
DRIMNIN DORLIN
6 3/4 =

The milepost lies at the N end of a track, which forms the continuation of the Drimnin to Doirlinn road down to the site of the ferry between Doirlinn and Glenborrodale. There is no man-made jetty visible here, but the rocks shelve steeply suggesting a natural anchorage.
