Classified as slightly damaged as although the pillar has a large chunk missing from the base exposing the bolt within it would still be useable for survey purposes. Expect though it may not be long until the status is damaged or even remains. No views due to cloud cover.

On linear from Mill (dis) NN 680 399. Path leaves Lawers Burn for Meall Greigh around NN 6801 3997. An Stuc involves a very steep, eroded climb from the east (Cat Gully on map) - OK going up (in westerly direction) but would not want to have been down climbing it. Fantastic route.

4th of 7 munros for us today going E to W, and the only one with a trigpoint. But what a spectacular trig it is. Dramatically eroded around the base, and amazing it is still there. Can't see it lasting much longer though. Very busy compared to the other hills of the day. Cloud was starting to lift and break as we arrived so some nice inversion in parts. Excellent.

Walked through the nature reserve to the south-west of Ben Lawers with the Burn of Edramucky gurgling through it: a fantastic array of alpine flora. Up and over Beinn Ghlas to reach trigpoint s1590 on Ben Lawers just as the mist came down. This pillar is very badly damaged and is unlikely to last many more ferocious winters without some radical surgery. Is there a repair/maintenance team out there? Really enjoyed this climb despite the strong, billowing wind.

On our annual hill walking visit north of the border, this is the first Scottish trig of 2012. Lovely walk up from the car park just south of Lochan na Lairige, we also took in Beinn Glas so 2 Munros ticked off on day 1. Gave this a 7, probably deserves more but the weather was down on the mountain so no views.

Came up from the car park at the site of the former Ben Lawers visitor centre via Beinn Ghlas on a good,obvious path. Good views most of the way,Lawers looming large in front of me. Suprisingly easy ascent considering its height(1214m). By the time i reached the summit,the mist had rolled in to stay so no more views unfortunately. The trig is in a rather sorry state,wide cracks leading up from its base which sits precariously propped at one side by some rather rotten looking wooden supports. Another top location,the mist making it very atmospheric & only saw one other person in the 45 minutes i spent at the top.

Damaged pillar on precarious platform. FB faces north-ish with all sightholes plugged. Cap is missing with no replacement. Pillar in very poor condition but still together. Large chunks are missing near the base. It sits upon a very unstable-looking platform (replete with a couple of rotten wooden props!). Amazing it hasn't keeled over or just disintegrated, really. Easy enough walk up from the visitor's centre car park (despite the visitor's centre no longer existing) over Beinn Ghlas. No real views sadly. Hints at a cloud inversion but the cloud never totally lifted.

No cap or plug. Agree with Lone Walker - damage is more than slight. Deep cracks - amazing it is still holding together. Base is undermined and comically precarious. At rocky summit with shapely cairn on a nearby slightly higher outcrop. Busy mountain even on a dreich day. From visitor centre, up and down in 1h 40 - excellent fun. A few spills on the way down - dodgy overtaking moves in trail shoes. Seemed to entertain the walkers!

My Munro #125 the occasion of my 47th birthday, staying in Killin for a week with a couple of old collage mates, had one of them follow me in my car to the Lawers Hotel on the A827 where I left it, and then he drove me in his car to the cairn just north of Lochan na Lairige, from where I set off alone to complete the round of the 7 Munros in the Lawers range. The weather was awful for the first 4 Munros but cleared up to something pretty decent by the time I'd come down from Lawers and approached An Stuc. My two mates did the 'Tourist Route' of Bheinn Ghlas and Lawers, and as I got to the summit of Beinn Ghlas from Meall Corranaich I met them on their way back.

Ben Lawers Frankly, looks bit more 'Damaged' than 'Slightly Damaged' to me - and this picture was taken back in 2009! Has it been repaired since?

Ascended from the visitor centre between the showers and the summit cleared as I approached, so very lucky on both counts. Superb views across miles and dozens of hills. Trig looking very worn with supporting concrete slowly decaying away. Also chunks missing from the pillar itself. I think 'slightly damaged' is being kind. Photos of damage attached.

Visited to record FB number. HISTORY: Pillar completed 30th July 1936 costing £27.5s.10d. Computed as primary station PP315 within Figure 3 of the OSGB36 primary retriangulation network during 1937. Levelled to second class precision in 1952. Last maintained by the OS in June 1980. SITE VISIT: Third highest OSGB triangulation pillar. When visited by GRP in 1997, this station was in a state of disrepair. The ground surrounding the trig pillar was very badly eroded, to the point where the whole thing looked unstable, yet it was stable. The pillar was badly cracked at FB height and chunks were missing from the bottom. Spider no longer retains OS centre boss. Flush bracket faces north.

S1590 - Ben Lawers Trig pillar, FB & GRP.

Walked up from visitor centre which had just closed. Late in day and cloud came down as I neared the summit. Out and back the same way.

No details noted. Had been forced back the previous day before reaching the summit by foul weather and high winds.

Whole summit had a battered feel to it. Remains of a cairn built to get Lawers over 4000' in the 19th C. Frost did for that, and will probably do for Scotlands highest pillar after Nevis and MacDhui.

My highest trig point, climbed during a Venture Scout fortnight staying at Lochearnhead. Not the most spectacular ascent but extensive views obviously.

Almost too easy a walk to just under 4000 feet from the National Trust car park; very fine panorama.

Family photos show us at the cairn at the top of Ben Lawers. Back in the days of hiking wearing summer sandles and with no clue about safety gear, water or snacks. I guess I can't berate anyone for being ill-equiped! No photo of the pillar, but we must have been there - I remember dad going on about maps.

first Munro, family outing, exact date not known, may have been July/August 1965/6. A former pupil of my mother was working as a ranger at the NTS visitor centre (which was a wooden hut). She took us up and showed us rare alpine plants. Summit shrouded in mist. I probably complained the whole way! Took my two youngest up over Beinn Ghlas, summer 1991 (or thereabouts)
