Parked in the road at NO 24676 49047. Then walked up Cataran Trail to gate at NO 2488 4989, then took paths heading in the direction of the trigpoint through the gorse all the way to the trig. Lovely walk and lovely view when you get there.

From the Den of Alyth up to the high point which also has an old Pivot BM on the boulder. From the high point it was then onto the trig pillar, then followed the cateran trail back into Alyth

A day (unintentionally) of Toposcopes, having done Ben Cleugh earlier (which doesn’t point out this hill) we could find Ben Cleugh from the view-finder on this hill. Plan for today was to plant Storm's first flags in Central Region and Tayside Region, Tayside was meant to be Mount Blair but I’d underestimated Ben Cleugh completely, both in time taken (much longer) and knees (knackered) so this was a much easier option! And a great substitute it was too, lovely views from a delightful area of common land. Returned to village for bonus IS of the church spire.

A quick dog walk while visiting the area. Beautiful views from the top, nice to have the viewfinder. Sight hole open. No center sadly.

Parked at junction for Loyal Road in Alyth then followed road up the hill to the path then plenty of paths through gorse to trig. Followed up by a wander to Reekie Linn Waterfalls. Impressive.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there and in good condition.

Good condition pillar atop Hill of Alyth. Easy wander up from the south-east. Good views from the top in all directions. FB faces south-ish with north-ish sighthole open only. Cap missing with no plug. New viewpoint indicator nearby with a bit of the old one as a step. Unfortunately the rose has been nicked.

Strayed from the Cateran Trail to visit this one. As I approached the trigpoint, crunching through virgin snow, I was delighted to see a pair of lapwings/plovers/peewits (isn't it a fine thing to be known by three names?) performing what I can only describe as some elaborate courtship exhibition characterised by much swooping and fluttering, and highlighted by that unique pleading, piping sound. Perhaps they were also excited by the sight of this pillar which was in good condition, with its cap infilled with asphalt.
