Wall feature incorporating millstone
The inscription to the right of the millstone reads "Mill of Haldane 2005 Community Project". Another inscription, on a nearby stone, explains that the millstones incorporated into this wall feature are "from the last water-operated corn mill in the Vale of Leven"; it also says that the mill was driven by water from Jamestown Dam, and that it was in use until 1942.
The area is called Mill of Haldane on the map, but is generally only referred to locally as the Haldane.
The OS Object Name Books (1890s) describe Mill of Haldane as "a small village having a corn mill, smithy and Toll Bar, the property of William McAlister and occupied by James Craig and others".

Bench mark on Miller Road
This 3rd-order cut benchmark is on a stone at the northern end of the east parapet of the bridge where Miller Road crosses the Carrochan Burn. It is 17.458m above Newlyn datum (according to the OS database).
The upper surface of the stone above it has some interesting details, not visible from this angle: there are rectangular sockets at the corners (as if the stone had formerly supported something else), and some inscribed text:
