Parked at Knock Hill race track, walked up farm track to gate (which was open) and walked up mast track to trigpoint. Had to climb fence on the way back as gate locked, landowner clearly doesn't want you up this mast track.

Parked at Knockhill race track and walked up track. Sometimes there are sheep in this field and walkers are discouraged

A really quick walk up here this morning to start the day off with as I'd bivvied out just off the access track a short way below the summit last night.

Parked in the car park for the race track. A lot of young cattle around the track leading up, as this was where the ring feeder was and they don't like moving to far from the food! They were quite jumpy so made my way past West Leathans along the track and walked around the field to bring me around to the west side of the hill. Followed the sheep tracks up to the trig from here.

There was a meeting on at the race-track, but this didn't cause me any hardship. Cut across the frozen hillside to reach the metalled road near the top, which was dangerously icy - kept to the grassy fringes. Pillar has its original cap in place with shallow lettering, and all 4 s/h's open. Splendid all round views. Then an exploration of the nearby long-closed railway: old bridge and extensive embankments.

Great views from the top. Just make sure you go on a day when there is nothing going on at the race circuit, was noisy today.

Sunshine and threatening clouds meant there were great views of Ben Lomond, North Berwick and Bass rock and down to Tinto Hill views only ruined by the presence of the masts. Spoke to farmer on way up and was fine for access, also found bench mark on the old railway bridge. Amateur night at the race track below with plenty of tyre screaching.

Vgc pillar atop Knock Hill. Cap present with sunken lettering. All sightholes open although the west one has a stick jammed in it by some numpty. However, bolt visible internally. FB faces south-ish. Accessed from the east from the racetrack. Easy walk up metalled roads. Superb views from the top to Stirling, Ochils, Pentlands, Grangemouth, Longannet, Lomonds etc. Fantastic. There's an old railway bridge crossing an abandoned cutting with a CBM on it.

My 600th Pillar. Glorious day, long views. Noisy pack of dogs at the lower farm. Only 3 came and inspected us but glad I had taken my son along as bodyguard.

Drove right in to Racing circuit car park. Took advantage of frozen ground to cut corners on track up. Over the top and on to Saline, which unsurprisingly is a much nicer summit. 'No Acce' sign gone, but a collie followed me all the way back out from the farm. Friendly enough, fortunately.

Penalty for ignoring the huge "No Acce.." sign at the start of the track was no reply and a glare from the farmer as I walked right passed him. Goml type 2a. Cowardly sulker. Its a road walk, and if it were not for the sign, a drive up. Summit is a tumulus with a fine view of masts and the racing circuit. Turn round and you get a good view of the Ochils. Pillar intact and good condition. 2015 - still goml activity - got a lot of stick for using Fife Core Path 616 firstly for scaring sheep (nonsense) and then for deviating from said route in order to avoid real sheep. Be firm.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 17th November 1943 costing £10.15s.6d. In 1947 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT18/T41 in the Dunfermline secondary block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1965. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in September 1987. Location more famous for its racing circuit.

Retrospective log - usually combine it with Saline Hill. Note the coll between Knock Hill and Saline Hill is extremely boggy!!!!!
