Trig point in good condition, as it is built inside a chambered cairn so well protected. Offers good views of Gruting Voe, Vaila, Walls and Foula

Second visit to this one which I first visited in Jun 06. Came at it from the opposite direction this time via Loch of Brouster. Fine walk but a bit of a struggle through the heather.

Parked in layby and walked up to summit. Quite a lot of rocks around. Wonder if there was a Broch of some description here? Great views on a clear sunny day.

Walked up from road junction just below, through heather/grassland and over two fences. The pillar seems to be on top of the chambered cairn and tricky to get to over the wet rocks! FB faces N; E sighthole open, others plugged; nice top with raised letters. Good views again. Just managed to catch it right between two heavy showers.

Took the signed path to Upper Loch of Brouster from the bridge that separates the loch from the sea. After about 400 yards headed E and upwards through heather to the trig point. Ravens and rabbits all around. Good clear views with the low sun giving some warmth but not much.

I started out from Walls village and, having just visited Scord of Brouster, I came up to this interesting hilltop with its chambered cairn. It was quite a bleak day and this helped set the scene very nicely. I then descended to the east, back onto the road where I walked round, in no big hurry, to my next trig pillar, Scollan.

Fine view on a fine sunny day, could see out towards Culswick, Sullom Voe flare stack and Foula.

Parked opposite the access track to Murrister and walked up the field on the grassy side not the heather side to the ridge annd then along ridge to the Point. Pillar surrounded by substantial stone buildings collapsing all round. Chambered cairn?
