Really nice circular walk for this one starting at the Holl Reservoir car park. Muddy at parts through the woods and the trig itself is hidden behind a group of 3 trees up a wee hill.

From Holl reservoir car park. Up good track past East Feal then first right on signposted track to Harperleas. Despite being a wet winter it was mainly dry with board walks on the worst bits. Trig bagged, continued N on path to Harperleas then back to carpark on track. Fabulous nacreous clouds. 7.5km loop

Trig next to path but very easy to miss. Hidden at the top of a slight rise in a couple of pine trees.

Parked at the Holl Res CP. Followed the path past the other resivoirs until a small sign saying 'Path To West Feal' was reached. This is the track marked on the OS Explorer map. The trig is now surrounded by three tree's. Cont on the path back to the car park to complete the circular path.

From the Holl reservoir car park. Cut across the sheep pasture when higher up, then over fence into edge of woods, and trig hidden behind a tree.

Well hidden, good one to show a trig bagging novice friend. Fantastic walk taking in West Lomond a steep descent to the marker stone then along Harperleas reservoir

With access to a car today and travelling back north from Edinburgh with the M90 closed due to an accident it made sense to take a burl up Bishop Hill from Holl Reservoir and handy parking. The trig point makes a good addition and I went on to Haperleas reservoir.There is forestry work going on at the moment but I waited until worker in machine saw me and waved me on before carrying on along the path. Trig Point surrounded by 4-5 sitka trees, possibly self seeded. but views to South and East good,

Feeling terrible with heavy 'man-flu' type symptoms, but no chance of wasting such a lovely autumn afternoon, so off for a Fifeshire frolic in the Lomond Hills where during my walk I diverted to visit this nicely situated trig. Pillar has its cap with shallow lettering, and all s/h's open. What a tonic - felt much better at the end of the walk.

Followed the track up from the reservoir car park then diagonally across the open ground to the pillar. Hot day and conditions dry but guess this approach could get tricky if wet. Really good views to the south. As with the East Lomond trig this one is curiously located. Two conifers standing guard either side.

First outing since hurting foot a few weeks ago - limped along the track from the Holl Resr carpark till due east of the pillar. Not as far in the trees as the 1:50k would have you believe.

vgc, metal cap, shallow well-formed letters. In edge of low-conifers plantation with a view out over Glenrothes to Isle of May, Berwick Law, Arthurs Seat and Pentlands. Leisurely 3-trig Lomonds circuit with Keith and Dani. Picknicked here. En route from West Lomond, had my best-ever view of Crossbills, watched at close quarters for quite a while.

Very good condition and intact. Southern edge of the Lomond Hills with fine views southward to the Forth. Second generation of trees coming on now, but the view will still be there for a while.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 17th October 1943 costing £6.12s.9d. Later in 1943 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT48/T22 in the Edinburgh secondary block. It was recomputed as same in 1987. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1966. This trig point was last maintained by the OS on 2nd October 1984. Circular walk from Markinch railway station.
