Walked in from SW on farm tracks. Intrigued by the field boundary as I walked up; made of bundles of used tyres to create a strong shelter wall. A good spot to see the Orkneys as they are -- a mishmash of bodies of water and islands.

Parked at Burray School, walked along the road and turned right up the last road before you leave the village. At the top of the road follow the grassy path up to the Trig. You can see it in the distance.

Pleasant walk up marked roads/tracks to the high point of Burray from Burray village hall. Very fine views on a clear day including my home county top: Morven. Pillar in vgc with all fixings. Great Wall of Burray worth seeing en route:)

Parked at ND 4656 9623, walked from there on a good farm track. Pillar sits amongst some agricultural detritus at the 'summit' of Burray island. An original centre cap is retained, raised lettering; RHS sight hole open. Extensive views over Scapa Flow.

Easy walk up track from east, made a circuit of it in mist. There is a new dyke made of tyres on the way up.

Easy bag on the way to the ferry - parked at end of track for an easy walk up the track. If you want to hug the trig, easiest access to field is via gate in corner.

Only NorthEast sight is open with raised lettered cap. Pillar is in good nick but lotsa debris around its little corner of the field - best access route would be around field edges on horsey track (clocked the hoofprints). Overlooking St Margarets Hope.. very chatty farmer collared me both inward and outbound - he reckoned the Italians were camped around the hilltop during WWII.

Little Wart ..a little cluttered.

vgc, metal cap, wide raised well-formed letters. Corner of pasture, surrounded by assorted farmy clutter. Drove a short way in to find convenient parking - quite far enough for a Clio!

Has a nearby pole as per Akla - used by military to fly red flag, but again nothing marked on map.
