Everything intact, great views to the south. Had come from north. Descent towards Finnart Point was tough and would be worse once the bracken is at full height.

Parked at Inverchaolain church, up through Stronyaraig Farm and straight up the nose to Sron Dearg. Pillar sits on a flatish part of the ridge to Cruach nan Capull; approx 2m W of old fenceline. Original top cap is retained, raised lettering; all sight holes open. Cloud down, no views, although it cleared by time I'd got to Cruach nan Capull to give an extensive panorama.

Approach from Bishop's Seat. Spider has OS metal cap. Excellent views. Nice FB number, but not prime, 8777 = 67x131.

vgc, metal cap, wide raised letters. Highpoint on grassy ridge. From S, followed glen track then grassy climb. Then via Capull to Bishops Seat, enjoyable circuit in cool drizzle after a roasting yesterday.

Good condition and intact. Very fine view over the Firth of Clyde and its shipping. A long walk from the summit at the end of a long level south ridge.
