The Indicator was the work of the Wanlockhead Youth Club under the supervision of T.E.M.Landsborough and W. Stevenson.
A certain time of making do was necessary in the early 1940s, and the construction of the pillar is of interest.
It is made from a section of large bore water pipe filled with concrete.
There is a bronze plaque placed on top with the indicator markers etched in.
The indicator was dedicated on the 21st may 1944.
