Parked at the bottom of the mast road, followed this road up then onto open hillside to the trigpoint. Careful to avoid the sheep. Great views across to Arran and Ayr Town also

Last trig of the holiday and another bit of an outlier, nearest trigs I've visited somewhere in the murk of Arran (see a bit of it later from Culzean). A wonderful wild and windy spot with the sea shimmering with grey - it is possible to get to the trig via gates but fences pretty easy too - an obvious and deserved popular spot. Tinto in the distance as well as the Dumfries and Galloway hills whilst Ayr itself disappearing in a hooly.

Finally bagged this Fella with two chums that walked Sahara with me around this time last year - visibility down to 500m, so couldn't even see the masts - pity to miss the Antrim view but perfect excuse to return again! :D PREVIOUS REPORT; Got duped by some concrete and piping that resembled a Pillars skeleton at the nearby mast-site... only realised my mistake much later.. DANG!

Good condition pillar with some slight cracking to the SW edge. FB faces north-ish with all sightholes except east-ish open. N/S sightholes are clear and bolt is visible. No cap or plug present. Absolutely stellar views today in the snow. The only downside was that the car couldn't make it up the hill to the convenient starting point at the end of the transmitter maintenance road, so it turned into a much longer hike.....

Visited to record FB number. HISTORY: Pillar completed 9th July 1936 costing £8.2s.8d. Computed as primary triangulation station PP346 in Figure 3 of the OSGB36 primary network during 1937. Levelled to second class precision in 1950. Last maintained by the OS in September 1976. SITE VISIT: Pillar in fair condition. Spider has lost OS plug. FB is extremely battered, but still readable. Views to Arran. Was followed by (Army?) helicopter from comms masts to summit.
