This milepost in Rhu is one of the flat designs which are only 7cm deep. The mileposts between Dumbarton and Helensburgh are curved with a different style of hands. It is marked on the 1860 OS map but only this post on the A814 opposite the marina and a similar post in Arrochar remain by the roadside along the eastern shore of Gare Loch and Loch Long.
