Easy approach from road. Walked around a metal gate towards a small pond then followed faint tracks to trig.

I dressed up in my Rabies hazard suite after the information gleamed from previous logs. However I was disappointed as it was not required as some basic route finding found a path that avoids the prickly bits. Parked in lay-by. Crossed road & walked towards Broadford. Used first entrance off road to north, then over a large wide metal gate then walked downhill on a track to a near a pond of sorts. The summit track starts to the south of this pond. Job done.

Ye gods: barbed wire, brambles, gorse, bog... this one has it all to get round or through. And the view is perhaps the least interesting in all of Skye.

The aim is to find 25 trigpoints in one day - this is the second of the 'day'. Following the arrow using a head torch means you have difficulty picking the best route. I ended up going through bushes, a bog and a stream, all in just 100m!

Easy to get to but miserable day with cloud down almost to the height of the TP. Plans to do higher elevation TPs abandoned although the day did improve. I suspect the views would increase my opinion of this TP.

Log #138. The weather had gone from 'warm' to 'furnace' in the time it took me to drive from Bealach na Ba to Kyle, and I had managed to get sunburnt despite the factor 50. I took the same route to this pillar as most others: parking in the long layby, walking to the gate, then direct route to pillar. This one really does have everything - barbed wire, heather, bog, dried grass, etc. Definitely not as straightforward as it looks on the map. The cap is missing, but the pillar is in otherwise good condition. Good views back towards Kyle, and westwards towards Broadford and the Cuillins. [ExP-125/MiP-2/Rev-1/BM-9/Other-1]

HISTORY: Pillar completed 15th August 1957 costing £19.5s.11d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station NG80/DM/T6 by distomat survey in 1958. Levelled for height also in 1958. Last maintained by the OS in May 1978. SITE VISIT: Approached from southwest, not quite a simple as it appears on the maps. Parked in long westbound layby at NG721257, south side of A87 opposite trig. Walked around 100m west to blocked gate on line of old road. Over gate and random route across very rough ground to pillar. Pillar in good condition. Spider centre open. Flush bracket faces SSE ~149°. Vented through three sight holes, NW face plugged, innards blocked with debris. Full 360° panoramic view.

Got to this one by kayaking out from Broadford (a first?). The approach to the pillar from the beach may be easier than from the road. Absolutely stunning views on the way out and back.

Located to the north of the A87T. A layby on the other side of the road gives good parking, but there's a 130m of marshy, boggy ground to be negotiated to reach the trig on a small hillock. Depending on how much rain there's been will depend on how wet your boots get! Pillar is a standard truncated square pyramid in good condition. Good views to the north, but not spectacular for the Highlands.

Parked in the layby on the A87, throught he gorse to the old road, then over the barbed wire fence and across the common and up to the top of the pronounced 'tump' to get the pillar. Plug is missing but otherwsie OK. No paint and all sightholes closed. Good views over the loch.
