Full Description
RCAHMS Canmore description:
NC65SW 10 60842 53484
This granite milestone stands on the E verge of the A836 public road at the foot of the NE flank of Cnoc Craggie. Roughly triangular in section, the stone has two flat, dressed, faces on the front and a rounded rear that is roughly hewn. The stone measures 0.42m in breadth by 0.3m in depth and 0.5m in height, and the upper part presents a steeply-sloping facet to the road. The stone bears no inscription, but the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherlandshire 1878, sheet XXVI) notes that it marked the distance in miles to ‘TONGUE 4½’ and ‘ALTNAHARROW 13½’.
