I parked at HU 4741 5785 at the side of the B9075 and walked up to the high point of the road. A gate here gives access to the moorland hill to the SW. I picked my way over the many peat banks and, with a final steep climb to the summit, reached the pillar. The remnants of what looks like a small whisky bottle in two halves lie nearby! The pillar has a great view out towards Whalsay and - directly behind - Out Skerries. A great view over some interesting coastline of the eastern Shetland mainland and also inland. Pillar details and photos to follow...

Skirted round the north side of Loch of Bellister and approached from the NNW. Good views in all directions due to a rare sunny day. Completed circuit of the loch and back to quarry by the road.

I approached from the 110 metre contour on the B9075. It was really sunny and South Nesting Bay looked very inviting a mile away. Though, within a few hours it would be pouring with rain once again. I returned back to the road the same way I came.
