10746 - Carn Choire Riabhaich
NH541169, LR35. HISTORY Pillar completed 19th May 1960, cost not on record. Computed by Distomat survey as secondary triangulation station NH40/DM/2 within the Loch Ness secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1960. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in June 1976. DISTOMAT SURVEYING A station number preceded by /DM show the station was a 'distomat' observed station, fixed to fourth-order standards. The distomat stations were only fixed by observing distances and not angles, unlike other stations that were fixed by angle and distance methods. SITE VISIT Approached from the west. Parked on open ground at NH514169 where the yellow infill expires on the map for this unclassified road. Headed southeast on the track to the right then crossed the bridge, continued up the track on the left of the river to NH533160, then took a straight route across random ground to the summit. Met the gamekeeper on way up the track, he was friendly and welcoming. Grass and rocky summit with a cairn. The Vanessa is in good condition. The spider retains an OS centre cap raised large wide letters. The flush bracket faces SSW, compass reading 198°. Vented through the back (NE) sight hole. The 360° open outlook is partly obscured by low cloud on day of visit.

- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
