Looking south-east along Old Glasgow Road towards the B7071. The church was built on the site of Bothwell Castle Farm pond in 1872-74. About 1852 the route to Glasgow was changed to go northwards along what is now the B7071. This milestone was originally nearly ½ mile northwest but was set up in the church grounds in the 1960s. There are only two milestones left on this route. The other Glasgow 8 is built into the wall just north of Bothwell Bridge over the R Clyde. NS70945794. Link-6097748. Both are unusual in that the distances are 'From', most milestones say 'To'.
