Pillar in good condition and I'd say well cared for. Down a farm track with the fence built to accomodate it. I parked by the opening to the track on the B9169 (quiet early morning). Fine views northwards.

Log #370. My sister was getting dropped off by the bus at Duncanston, so I took a very quick detour to revisit this trig. No change in condition and not much else to note, other than I had to wheelspin my way up the gravel track to get back onto the Culbokie road. [ExP-254/MiP-32/Rev-6/BM-25/IS-35/Other-18]
