NX547612, LR83. HISTORY Pillar completed 6th September 1955 costing £30.5s.0d. Computed by distomat survey as tertiary triangulation station NX56/DM/T29 within the Kirkcudbright secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1958. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in June 1988. SITE VISIT Parked in a wide area on the north side of the B796 at NX549623. Took a straight line up the hill from the parking spot. The only challenges were, tussocks at lower levels and burnt heather towards the top. The pillar is in good condition.

Open outlook to surrounding hills and coastline beyond.
