Old milestone
Looking southwards along the A7 at the Scotsdike border between Scotland and England. The little stream, Dimmisdaill Syke, disappears under the road surface. The metal cover has BT on it so the stream may reach the River Esk which is behind Rose Cottage on the east side of the road. Although the milestone is leaning it was like that in 2014 so is relatively safe.

Old milestone
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.

Entering Scotland along the A7
The A7 is the tourist route from Carlisle to Edinburgh.
The Scotland sign is slightly north of the border, so the lay-by from which this photograph was taken is actually in Scotland.
