Roadside verge parking to east (NT 8183 4166), good track leads through woods (albeit copious windthrow at present) to emerge to open pasture ~260m ESE of the trig. Pillar has lost its centre cap, asphalt plug seals the tube; RHD side sight hole open. Extensive views over tops of surrounding trees.

Walked up from Coldstream following a suggested route on Walk Highland. Lovely Autumn walk through coloured lanes and avenues. Found a couple of BMs deep in the wood. Waited until due N of the trig and took a well defined track S up to the wood boundary. A rickety style made crossing the fence easy. The pillar was visible on the horizon and only a short distance away. No cows but 100’s of pheasants in the field. Views to the south were expansive. With CJ.

A super walk up from the Hirsel - Good to see the statue of Alex Douglas Home, the amazing rhododendrons, and the obelisk en route to the trig. Got a bit scared at the pillar by the charging cows, but there were great views - Still snow on Big Cheviot! Also on our walk we saw lots of jumping trout, a kingfisher and 2 deer including a baby, Very enjoyable afternoon.

Parked on the minor road to the north, navigated along the woodland tracks, over a stile and up the hill to the trig, a nice and easy one to bag. Decent views across to the Cheviots and Eildons on this beautiful crisp autumn morning.

A stunning morning for trigging :-)

Easy walk through the woods from minor road to the N. I don't think there had been a day without rain since the entry below describing the woods as 'muddy', so wellies were an essential, despite it being mid August (or even 'mud August'). A beautiful evening and superb views S to the Cheviot, Yeavering Bell etc. Limited views N. Be wary of the stile out of the woods - the electric fence is definitely in operation - you've never heard a dog yelp as loud as Watson did as he caught it crossing the stile.

Another unplanned Trig visit, an easy bag from Hirsel Lake car park although it envolved taking a longer route around and up to avoid the cattle (who clearly like using the Trig as a scratching station) and slopping through some very wet, muddy woodland tracks.

Parked at Hirsel country park café. Then followed red route to Dunglass bridge, at the bridge continue up track to find gate on left into field and up to top of hill for the trig. Not a good day to be a pheasant, shooters out everywhere.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 27th February 1953 costing £15.19s.6d. In 1957 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT72/T49 in the Jedburgh secondary block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1970. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in November 1986.
