From the nearest point outside the fence to the pillar is around 14m. Pillar looks in good condition. Couldn't see any metalwork or sightholes due to long grass. The NW corner of the fence looks scalable due to a slump in the lower-half. However, decided to not set a bad example to the accompanying child...Good views from the hill though especially west along the firth.

Didn’t try to climb the fence so just took my picture from outside.

Visited as getting dark. SW corner of fence allows wriggled access beneath it to bag this one.

Its not just the gate, I walked through a piece of fence torn down by local neds. Good view over Rosyth and across the Forth. Pillar in good condition perched on the edge of a covered reservoir. "BSM" type.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 29th April 1944 costing £4.16s.3d. In 1946 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NT18/11 in the Dunfermline block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1948. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1983. On top of covered resr. Surrounding chain link fence was rusting away. Appears to have since been rewired. Large tanks may be disused. Good view of the Forth Bridges.
