S6206 - Beinn A' Bha'Ach Ard
NH360434, LR26. HISTORY Pillar completed 14th June 1948 costing £19.11s.0d. Computed as primary triangulation station PP380 within Figure 6 of the OSGB36 primary retirangulation network during 1951. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary blocks NH54 (Inverness) during 1955, and levelled to second class precision in 1956. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in May 1980. SITE VISIT Approached from southeast. Small car park on south side of unclassified road at NH395406 where the mapped yellow infill now ends. Headed due north as mapped but the path does not become apparent for around 250m. Continued on path passing around east side of Loch na Beiste and up onto top on Carn na Gabhalach, along to Sgurr a' Phollain and finally Beinn a' Bhathaich Ard. The stone built pillar is in good condition. Spider plugged with tar. The flush bracket faces SSE, compass measurement 159°. Vented through right (NE) and back (NW) sight holes. Full 360° panorama with long views in all directions. Returned via a random route south picking up the mapped track just west of the power station.
