Proper steep walk up in the hot sun to this one good location, I walked out to bag the summit proper on my first hill bag of the trip.

Parked up in the reservoir car park for 5 of the Megget Reservoir pillars, this the fourth. Although at first glance it looks OS, it's only the shape that is familiar, although the spider is also oif the OS type, but has no centre cap or plug. There are no sight holes and no FB. Oh, and it's not an OSGB36 trig, so prob shouldn't be on T:UK at all. But it's in a great location overlooking the reservoir.

parked at the wee car park adjacent to the dam. As NJM said it is a steep climb up to the trig.

Parked at the reservoir car park intent on bagging six pillars in one walk! Started with Hunter Hill, then back to the car park past the car and over the dam to do this one. Took me an hour from pillar to pillar. Can't think of a more unrelentingly steep climb to bag a pillar since doing N face of The Brack, or Ben More Craiglarich - thankfully only 200m of sheer ascent! Great views from the pillar, even better views from the true summit.

After a stiff climb up from the dam to bag Syart Law I come across this trig. Well worth the puff getting up here the view was amazing

Very cold biting wind and a snow covered steep slope made for an interesting ascent. Easily seen from the Megget Dam, this anomaly of a trig is well worth the effort. The views today were outstanding. Visited the wee dumpy pillar on the way down. Now logged as a separate pillar. I remember Megget being built with the accumulated water going through a tunnel to the Manor Valley and then by pipeline to Edinburgh.

Chance find as with Rob. No idea it was there - cairn marked on map which could be seen from across the valley whilst bagging the SIM Greenside Law. Actually climbing Syart Law as a Donald Dewey

Chance find. Standard Hotine shaped trig with standard OS spider but no centre hole, sighting holes nor FB. Beside mapped cairn NE of summit. My guess is that it was installed by the OS under contract for triangulating Megget Dam and Resr. There's also a non-standard trig at NT 21049 22651 above dam in top edge of trees, the latter a dumpy square non-standard design with flat disc spider (same as used on TP7891 - Castle Hill Chunnel trig), not unusual at dam sites. Both are shown by a small blue triangle on OS 1:10,000 map, as are two more at NT 21233 22714 and NT 21027 23305 which I didn't notice on the ground. Resr trigs mapped in this way may be unique to this site? From N, path across Megget dam then straight up. Very windy, could barely stand at summit, hence no photos.
3 trigs shown on 1:10,000 OS mapping TP14724 shown circled. These small triangles are the standard OS trig pillar symbol at this scale.
