It turned out to be an old mile stone, with 22 carved on one side and 12 on the the other. These are the distances to Stirling and Dumbarton, respectively, as shown on the mid-19th century map on the left (where it is marked as M.S.).

It's always worth stopping to investigate anything that seems out of place. In this case, it was a red sandstone block integrated into a grey stone wall which I passed in Drymen on my way up to Loch Lomond yesterday.

The rather beautiful Drymen Parish Church to the north of Glasgow. The central section was built in the 1770s, while the porch on the left and the stair tower on the right were added in the late 19th Century.

Billy Connolly scarecrow stolen from garden near Big Yin's former home Louise, 65, whose late brother-in-law Davie was Billy’s minder when he was a resident in Drymen, Stirlingshire, is hoping the comedian himself might make an appeal for the scarecrow to be brought home.

The view looking south west to Drymen, not far from the Craigievern Trail car park. An immature tree and ferns dominate the foreground, with a bank of trees a few hundred metres away giving way to a shallow valley and rising hills on the far side. The sky is 7/10 cloudy, but the scene is mostly sunlit.

A zoomed in image looking south from the same path as the previous image. Hedgerow foliage and ferns are in the foreground, wooded areas in the mid-ground, with low hills beyond in the distance.

A path winding through a forested area. The floor is moss carpeted, with dappled sunlight filtering through the pine trees.

Looking upwards beside a tall pine tree which is adjacent to others behind. The sky is partially clouded with cirrocumulus(?) clouds.

Buchanan Castle, built by the Graham family on land once held by the Buchanans, stands as a lasting testament to both a lost heritage and a new legacy.

Two maps of the village is Drymen, showing how the village has grown since around 1923 till the present day in 2024. The first map from 1923 has a small number of buildings and roads. The modern map shows many more buildings and roads.

#devilspulpit near #drymen in #Scotland. It was “interesting” to get down there and you had to walk through the water to get to it, but definitely worth it. ❤️ #waterfall #outlander #filmlocations #scotland #waterfalls #photography
