Visited on a circular walk taking in John Knox Pulpit, West Lomond Hill Trigpoint and The Bunnet Stane. Trig in vgc considering how exposed the base now is. Today was very windy, but excellent 360` views.

Above my fireplace at home is an original painting by the Fife artist Ian Ledward called 'Light on West Lomond'. I bought the picture back in 2010 while I was still Munro-ing, not actually Trig Pointing. I love the picture, however over the years as my knowledge of hills, trigs, 'Marilyns', County Tops, etc has increased I came to realise that my picture depicts both a Trig Pillar and a county top. So I thought I'd save 'bagging' it for a day of really good weather, and it had to represent a significant, auspicious moment. Today was the day...my wee dog Storm's 500th Trig Point Pillar. And as good a day's Trig Bagging as we've enjoyed in a long time.

Ascended via the relatively easy path from Craigmead and descended via the rather eroded path to the NW which is not recommended as it was rather tricky to negotiate. Weather was rather dour and hazy so we weren't able to appreciate the views from the trig. Went on to summit East Lomond afterwards.

11 mile circular from car park between the two main Lomonds, along tracks onto West Lomond trig, down and up onto Bishop Hill, then along by reservoirs to car park and out and back to East Lomond. Day started with high cloud but by the time we did East Lomond the cloud had lowered so the toposcope was rendered pointless. Walked Allermuir Hill and the north Pentlands the day before.

Original cap missing, asphalt plug; left & right sight holes open. Extensive 360deg views in fine sun after sustained blizzards of snow pellets followed by wet snow - a changeable weather day!

Log #308. From public car park on the saddle between the Lomonds. Snow flurries on the way up, which turned into a full-blown snow shower by the time we reached the top. I was flagging, and wasn't sure if I should thrash on to the pillar, but glad I did. Took the direct route up the steep side of the hill, rather than the easier approach which wraps around the western side. Pillar is in good condition despite the very exposed base. No views unfortunately and didn't spend long at the top. Felt like longer than 5 miles! [ExP-224/MiP-23/Rev-2/BM-18/IS-31/Other-10]

Couldn't resist this before coming home as it was such a glorious morning and the views from the summit are superb! The plug is a concrete replacement. E/W sightholes open, others closed. No paint. Large mortared stone base, heavily undercut by erosion. Great spot to end with!

Still in reasonable condition with repairs and has a GPS plate affixed. Spider centre plugged with coarse cement. Battered flush bracket faces NNW. LHS+RHS sighting holes open, other 2 plugged. This station is the meeting points of Secondary blocks NO02, NO42, NT48 and NT18. During the Primary Retriangulation of Great Britain, other primary stations observed from West Lomond were Meall Dearg, Kings Seat, Craigowl, Kellie Law, Sayers Law, Scald Law and Ben Cleugh. Views to (as per S3163, East Lomond). GPS reading poor, unable to improvise. Originally visited 5th April 1985.

Did this one on church walk years ago (logging this in 2008) so can't remember much about it except those were the days I was able to drag my son (top of pillar) along with me. No chance now! He's more interested in computers and football.

The high top in Fife is West Lomond, an isolated grassy top at the W. end of the Lomond Hills. The ascent of West Lomond involves an easy tramp across the gently undulating Balharvie Moss and a final steep climb to the grassy summit.

Walked in from Milnathort over Bishop Hill. A good day, 3 "ur-marilyns". As expected the view form the hill that you can see from just about everywhere was good.

First visit. To record FB number. HISTORY The pillar was completed in 1936, cost not on record. Computed as primary triangulation station PP334 within Figure 3 of the OSGB36 retriangulation network during 1937. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary blocks NT48 (Edinburgh) in 1943, NT18 (Dunfermline) in 1946/47, NO42 (Dundee) during 1948, and NO02 (Perth) during 1951. The flush bracket was levelled for height to first class precision, tertiary standards in 1966. The final pre-GPS maintenance by the OS was in October 1987. This marker continues to be maintained by the OS as a GPS passive station. SITE VISIT Highest point in Fife. Long views in all directions.
