Final Trig of another weekend Trigbagging in D&G, staying once again in the Creebridge House Hotel (good value, good food, excellent local beer on draught). Trig is walking distance from the hotel. There are 188 extant pillars in Dumfries & Galloway - sadly I suspect that this might just be least interesting of all of them!

Easy little summit above Newton Stewart. Trig had some security fencing preventing access - which it didn’t. With CJ.

Walled up from the centre of Newton Stewart. Had to pass by a gate near the rugby pitches. Nothing special to see apart from the trig!

Had a couple of nights booked in Isle of Whithorn so on the wat stopped off in Newton Stewart. Parked up by the playground and nipped around the locked gate to walk up the concrete roadway to the pillar. Summit area is scruffy with junk strewn around. Trees obscure views in most directions, so a pretty disappointing trig all round. Has a nice beer in the Creebridge House Hotel afterwards.

Although plenty of other baggers were in the vicinity for the Minigaff triggers' weekend, I was on my own for this one, visited on a walk around Newton Stewart to find most of the available benchmarks. Not an inspiring location this one.
