The stone is set in a wall next to a bus stop on Image (see that photograph for context). The milestone is an old one; it is shown, at or near its present position, on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860). "Dunbarton 10 miles / Garelochhead 5½ miles / Arrochar 15½ miles" The spelling "Dunbarton" is one that was favoured by the Trustees of Turnpike Roads (for reasons that are explained in Image).
