Followed Borders Abbeys Way from Lindean Moor then cut E through 3 gates into Trig Field. Very straight forward and lovely easy going. Fabulous 360 degree panorama.

Good parking for ~6 cars to N at end of public road to Upper Faldonside (NT 5108 3300). Did a few hills on the way down. Pillar has lost its centre cap, asphalt plug replaces it; all sight holes open, albeit due to deteriorating plugs. Extensive views.

A lovely walk through about 6 gates. As others have said very good views across the hills to many familiar places considering it's quite low. Very quiet, but lots of sheep!

Local to me but this is the first time Ive been to this one. I parked at Lindean reservoir car park, and a decent round walk can be constructed via the Outer Whitlaw farm track and back via the Border Abbeys Way path. A sunny but very windy afternoon, with fabulous views all round. Numerous other hills with pillars on them can be identified. Still carries traces of white paint.

A good path from the roadside part of the Border Abbey Way then headed off to the trig. Great 360 view.

Parked at Whitlaw Mosses Nature Reserve car park. Walked along and past Over Whitlaw farm to the wood on the far side, if cows are in the field then the wood can be negotiated but it is full of nettles. Only sheep this time so walked up the field and into the trig field.

Route as Borderer. Walked up through the wee wood to avoid upsetting the cattle. Vicious nettles in there, stung me through my clothes.

Parked at Bowdenmoor and made up a nice circular walk that took in the trig, via Holydean and returning via Lady Moss. Lovely views across to the Eildons and the mast at Lindean.

Parked at the Whitlaw Mosses car park (watch out for the giant pot-hole at the entrance) then along the signposted track for Bowden. Before reaching Over Whitlaw Farm headed straight up to the pillar avoiding the cattle. Good views especially over to the Eildons.

Followed ocean soul's directions. No picture of the majestic Eildons background, cos I dropped my camera on the way, battering it still further & loosing a battery.

Second visit. For photographs and GPS reading. SITE VISIT: Summit is grazing land. Pillar good order. Spider centre is plugged with asphalt. Flush bracket faces WNW. Vented through NE and SW sight holes. Views to Black Hill NT72, Eildon Mid Hill, Peniel Heugh, Minto Hill, Rubers Law, Greenhill, Selkirk Common, Three Brethren, Meigle Hill. With its WNW facing flush bracket, this pillar is ideally positioned for the perfect Borders picture with the Eildon Hills as a backdrop. Clear sunny afternoon required.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 29th May 1953 costing £13.3s.0d. Flush bracket S7475 was levelled for height in 1956. This marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT72/T109 in the Jedburgh secondary block in 1957 and was last maintained by the OS in September 1986. What a splendid view of the Eildon Hills! No photos taken on this occasion.

Easy to get to from Over Whitlaw farm. Good views of the Eildon Hills to the East.
