P Craigshinnie Bridge, track to burn SSE of top, up through roughish ground, easier once over parallel track. On to s3 NE Top then through quite easy patches of trees to old cairn at NX 56854 79314, from where the track in is visible down wide FB.

Good parking spot on forest road to S (NX 5623 7845). Picked up an old partially grassed over logging track ~70m E from parking spot. Didn't go all the way up but was a help, then ground quite bad with tussocks. Pillar sits prominently at summit of the rocky hill of same name. Seems to have been built without a flush bracket. Centre cap missing, composite disc seals the tube; one sight hole unsealed, 2 of the 3 plugs are degrading. Extensive panoramic views.
