Staying nearby, so walked the few km to the pillar, hunting for BMs on the way. Field had recently been harvested, so access no problem. Surprisingly good views all round. Took in the nearby Tump as well. With CJ.

Good condition pillar atop knoll in a field. FB faces north-ish with all sightholes open except north-ish. Blocked internally so no visible bolt. Cap present with sunken lettering. Really nice views! Parked on the main road to the north of the farm track in a small passing place and walked up to the pillar.

Parking slightly dodgy on single track access road at NO154095. I'm not sure if it was strictly legit. Short walk along a track then up a field to the pillar following tractor tracks. It could be difficult with crops in. Cap with lettering intact

easy to find, after leaving glenfarg follow the road to the right over the motorway. continue along road till it reaches a road that states no access, continue straight on till road comes to a bend with dirt track straight on. park and follow track. trig is in a field in crop to the right at top of hill. Lovely views.. trig damaged. Will be hard to visit during summer months when the field crop grows.©Kctrig

Drove up the track towards the new bungalows. Soon after it swings right there is a pull-in. From there we could back track to the track junction and walk up towards the trig point and finally around the field boundary to the trig point itself. Dodging the snow showers this afternoon with Brisey and Griefmiester.

Father Ted describes our access route well but our timing wasn't optimum for the brief snow shower. Some muck spreading was going on in an adjacent field but the workers showed no interest in us.

TP7099 Most of the snow shower has moved on.

Appropriately named hill for today there was yellow everywhere: the flowers of the gorse, oil seed rape in the fields, broom in the hedgerows, a scattering of buttercups & dandelions, and quite a few yellowhammers flitting around. The pillar had its stamped cap in place, and two sight holes open (or two sight holes closed, if you prefer.)

Along RoW from North, then up tractor lines through winter crop (turnip?). Seems to sit at an odd angle.

Wet road access from north but not too bad. Got back to car to find two men lurking in hedge tryting not to look suspicious with that "look normal in front of muggles" expression. Turned out I missed eight caches down the lane. Bagged the one by the road with their help though.

NO153091, LR58. First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 24th February 1950 costing £12.3s.1d. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NO02/T73 in the Perth secondary block. Flush bracket S5918 was levelled for height in 1966. This trig point was lat maintained by the OS in September 1987. Spider retained stamped font OS boss by August 1992.
