Pillar in reasonable condition. Spalling on the front-right corner and some cracking but otherwise OK. FB faces south-west-ish with no sightholes open. Cap present with raised lettering. Came up the path from the south at Broughton Place. Keyhole views looked good in amongst the murk.

Parked in the walkers car park at Broughton Place and headed up via John Buchan Way, Broomy Side and Green Law, following the fenceline to the trig...rather a rollercoaster of a walk, however the views from the top were very impressive. Coincidentally, we had an aerial view of this very range of hills from our plane heading back to Glasgow Airport on Saturday night! The trig was sadly looking a bit worse for wear on one of the bottom corners.

Revisit. Approached from south. Walkers' car park kindly provided at Broughton Place, NT119374. Followed mapped path to NT123393, then unmapped path by fenceline via Broomy Side and Green Law to summit. Open grazing hills. Pillar stands northwest of fenceline. Column is worse for wear, has been crumbling near the bottom of the west edge for many years. Spider retains replacement OS centre cap with raised large narrow letters. Flush bracket faces WNW, ~299°. Vented through SE sight hole. Spectacular 360° panoramic view.

Off to Scotland for this years trip via the Southern Uplands to Ardnamurchan, what a great start. Wonderful views from Arran to North Berwick Law, from coast to coast. Those cold winds which will bring hail and snow just on their way....

Pillar is crumbling away in the Lanark area tradition. However it still has its plug, not bad for a popular summit.

Concrete deteriorating, especially at FB level. Metal cap, wide raised letters. Walkers car park at 119374. Via Hammer Head to Riding Hill (a Yeaman) then back over a couple of 500ers to the trig, returning via Clover Law. Excellent day out, rounded off with a late lunch of haggis neaps and tatties at the tearoom in the village :-)

Second visit. For photographs. SITE VISIT: Pillar has a chunk missing from surface on one corner near base, otherwise in reasonable condition. The spider is complete, the OS plug has a raised narrow font different from the norm - a fifth type of plug font. Lovely location. Views to Dollar Law, Broad Law, Tinto, Black Mount, Mendick Hill, West Cairn Hill, Mount Maw, Scald Law and Wether Law.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 25th July 1949 costing £27.1s.9d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NS83/5 in the Lanark block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1958. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1981.
