Roadside verge parking by the trig, which just about pokes its head above the wall. Quite some damage to this one, and not just the screed. However, it retains an original centre cap, with deeply indented lettering. All sight holes are now below ground level.

Hiding in the wheat field, Good views. The poor pillar is looking a bit cracked and sorry for itself though.

My second visit, 11th bag of 14 today. No more damaged than it was a couple of years ago, and nothing new to report, though will never be one of the Border Region's more interesting pillars.

Tricky to spot in a low down car. Weeds growing out of damaged bit. Farmer stopped down road a wee bit and waved and took a photo as I was driving away?! Waved back and gave a big cheeser.

Parked on road opposite pillar. A quick approach through one of the many gaps in the stone wall. Pillar has last vestige of white paint. A lot of cement flaking off the top and side. Spider intact. Unable to see from road.

Final of 8 TPs bagged today. Sadly it seems like it might just take one more big juggernaut to go thundering past this roadside TP and it'll shatter into dust...

Parked in the quarry entrance to the NE. Some grass was growing out of the hole in the side of the trig so I removed it. First time I've had to garden the inside of a pillar!

Roadside trigs are just the ticket on a wet morning. It's in a bit of a state condition wise.

Having driven past three times earlier in the week, I feared stopping adjacent on the busy road. Not one car on Friday - because lots of yellow signs announcing road closed half mile further east. Such good luck !

Not in good condition but still shaped like a trig point. I parked to the nowth in a field entrance than walked down parallel to the wall but inside the field. That made viewing the FB easy. Could be my first true Scotish trig point!

Oh dear as previously noted this one is in a terrible condition. Chunks out of it and a nasty crack right through it. The concrete is also breaking up around the spider. Easy roadsider behind a wall with a handy gateway a few meters to the east. FB plate faces into the field and was partially buried.

It is easy to drive by and fail to notice the top of this pillar just peeping over the top of the wall. Best to drive by in a tall 4 X 4! I thought the damage was more than slight. My picture of the FB was blurred so I have not uploaded it.

A wee bit of digging required to reveal flush bracket. Walked from Kelso to bag this one, then walked back to Kelso. Bagged three wall FBs enroute, G2044, 1422 and 1530.
