NS945057, LR71, LR78. HISTORY Pillar completed 5th July 1950 costing £32.15s.3d. Computed as secondary triangulation station NS83/22 within the Lanark secondary block during 1950. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary block NX99 (Dumfries), and levelled to second class precision during 1954. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in September 1976. SITE VISIT Parked on verge at NS968058. Ascended over Watchmans Brae to Rodger Law. The pillar was surrounded by moat, top layer depleting to depth of spider. Spider centre open and filled with debris. LHS sight hole open, others plugged. The flush bracket faces northeast, compass measurement 65°. There is a 360° panorama, but the Lowther Hills were in cloud on this occasion.

- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
