Walked up from Tollishill via Crib Law; good walkers' car park at end of public road (NT 5190 5799). Pillar sits off to one side of large summit cairn, original centre cap retained; rear sight hole open. Extensive panoramic views.

My 1,000th visit to a Trig Point Pillar, including repeat visits and non-extant 'ghost' pillars logged as bagged. Actually my 633rd unique pillar, and my 624th unique extant pillar. I figured this to be a notable achievement, and I wanted a really good new pillar to mark the occasion. Not disappointed by choice of pillar today, a good walk with superb views, and good company from Trigging companion Simon.

Unsure of the date. Came in from the south as the plan for the day was to collect Crib Law then onto Lammer Law. A long walk on gravel roads but enjoyable.

Lovely fresh painted pillar. Next to a large cairn. I cycled up from Longyester, some pushing through the snow. Back down by the beautiful Hopes reservoir. Definitely one for a repeat visit. https://strava.app.link/qahK44dzU4

From Crib Law, track all the way, or over heather if impatient. Huge cairn of frosted rocks on heather moorland with white painted trig on NW side. Misty, slight W wind.

By bike from Hopes, cost - one puncture caused by a sharp skelf of stone. Lovely day and big views over to Fife and the Pentlands. For the first time ever, I met a lot of people out in the Lammermuirs.

Perfect summer's evening for a walk up from the track at the end of the road from Longyester. Trig pillar still looking resplendent in its white coat. Great 360 degree views including the twin Cockenzie power station chimneys a local landmark to be demolished this September. A sign of the end of the UK coal industry but never mind we've plenty of wind turbines to replace it.

Howling wind, driving rain, low cloud and soggy snow gave more of an edge to the treck up from the quarry road end than might have been expected. First trig of the year. Saw one pure white rabbit.

A very windy walk up the hill, following the track roughly south from where the road ends at Blinkbonny Wood. It was a bit hazy but you could just about see the Firth of Forth in the distance. The T/P is in good condition with all the metalwork intact. It even sports a rather jolly hat :o)

Excellent all round views to many other trig points in the region. The pillar had a pyramidal metal 'hat' which looked like a rain collector and a memorial to Paul Fraser (1959 - 2001): "Physicist, Mountaineer, Hill Runner, Friend".

Intact and in good condition next to a very large cairn on the second highest hill in the range. Walked up from Hopes past silly no bike signs , quoting erosion (apparantly bulldozers and landrovers dont do this) The hills here are covered in roads! Lovely walk up past Hopes Reservoir. Fortunately cairn was covered in wasps not the trig. Fine view to Arrochar and the Perthsire hills with Schiehallion popping up behind Kirkcaldy.

Lammer Law is the second highest top in the Lammermuir Hills, a range which spans East Lothian and Berwickshire. The trig is on open moorland and stands beside a large cairn. There are no access problems, the trig is about 400m west of a long distance right of way marked as a track on the map. Views to Black Hill NT72, Eildon Mid Hill, Windlestraw Law, Scald Law, Allermuir Hill, Arthurs Seat, Skid Hill, North Berwick Law, Traprain Law, Deuchrie Dod, Sayers Law plus many more. Trig pillar is still in very good condition, flush bracket faces NW, spider retains original OS cap with shallow engraved font. Memorial plaque in ground by trig reads In memory of Paul Fraser 1959 to 2001, physicist, mountaineer, hill runner, friend. Weather sunny, GRP 9/08/03.

Up here on a cold and windy day, but it was still worth hanging around to admire the view. Access is easy, with a track heading a few hundred yards away and a path leading from it to the pillar. Well worht a visit.

First visit. To record FB number. HISTORY The pillar was completed in August 1943 costing £8.8s.3d. Although apparently intended as a secondary station, this marker was computed as tertiary station NT48/5 within the Edinburgh secondary block, and levelled to second class precision in 1943. This station was refixed to secondary standard 1983. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1989.
