Rough boat trip out from Leverburgh Harris. Once on Hirta, weather deteriorated to a thick wet mist and a cloud base down to 400 feet. Visibility 20 yards. A place not to linger today.

No rivet in sight but to be honest I didn't care less. What a magical place to be on a wonderful sunny day with great views across the sea to Boreray and the Stacs and the thought of being on top of the highest point of the remotest British Isle was a bit special.

GR indicates a small mound approx 10m SE of the truncated pillar thingy. Possible a concrete block now grassed over. Would need to prod the ground and dig - maybe wardens not keen on that.

Searched the pillar pretty thoroughly and no sign of. Nor on the sizeable stones a few metres North. Maybe it used to be on the now destroyed top bit of the sundial? Reasonable spot for lunch anyway! Edit: According to OS the height of 430.072m is to a rivet set in concrete. I'm now thinking this would probably be on the foundation? Dunno what to put conditions as....

The rivet was probably once on this squat pillar pictured (sundial?). There doesn't appear to be any other obvious place it could be. Boreray and the Stacs look magnificent from this viewpoint. Eastwards, I couldn't see the hills of Harris or any other intervening islands. I liked it that way anyhow, open ocean in all directions.
