Beautifully painted trig. Nice cairn alongside. Weather was dull so only just saw the Tay Bridge. Parked at Pittachope Layby for the fife coastal path. Clear track then grass path to summit. Up and down in an hour. Will do this one again!

Pillar remains in good condition, with asphalt-filled plug, and one sight-hole open. Luck was with me today - I'd just got back to the car which then took a battering from some giant hailstones. I love this changeable weather; just sat back and enjoyed the entertainment for ten minutes.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 25th June 1948 costing £11.3s.0d. Later in 1948 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NO42/12 in the Dundee block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1967. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1982. Circular walk from Cupar railway station. Big views all round.
