This sandstone milestone is in the grounds of Uddingston Parish Church, tended by a church member. The legend reads - 6/Miles from/GLASGOW/3½ Miles from/HAMILTON. It is in Bothwell Parish. It has an ellipse oval cross-section and is about 100cm tall. Near the ground can be seen the unworked section of stone that would have been under ground level originally. There is vertical broaching on the sides and top. It was erected by the Airdrie & Shotts Turnpike Trust sometime after 1764 but this is not its original site.
