This iron milepost is situated on the A932 road between the town of Forfar and village of Friockheim in the county of Angus in Scotland. It is almost equidistant between the two destinations adjacent to the farm of Fonah. The town of Arbroath, to which this road is the main route to from Forfar, is also inscribed.

Like the others on this road, the milepost was made by G. Anderson & Co. at Arbroath Foundary, and like the one a mile to the east at Balgavies, the spelling of Friockheim is 'Friockhiem'.

The post is clearly visible on the south side of the road, as the vegetation around it has been maintained. There are a few rusty marks on it and a small chunk is missing at the top.

Condition: Worn

Arbroath 11 1/2
