This milestone on the A7 which is the same style as others which have also lost their plates on the road towards Edinburgh is only just south of the border with Scotland. The little stream, Dimmisdaill Syke, which flows between two houses, Orchard View to the south in England and Eskdale Cottage to the north in Scotland is the line of the border. The narrow plate may have had Edinburgh 81½ with Carlisle 12½/Longtown 3½ on the lower plate.
