A half-mile sign on the promenade at Ayr, Scotland, indicating the half way point on an exercise route. It refers to the historical fact that, until the 18th century, a Scottish mile tended to be longer than an English mile (on average 1984 yards compared with 1760 yards). The sign references this longer Scottish mile and includes the measurement in feet and metres. | |
