Explored the village then walked up to trig. Access has been diverted to the west of the farm, with the path starting from the end of a street of houses.

Walked through the farmyard and saw the farmer who was happy for me to use the path up to the pillar

Mostly reached by walking along a track and then heading up the hill a short way. Great views of Scalloway and beyond.

We parked in the school car park and followed the track to Berry Farm. We followed the track which took us to the trig point. Beautiful panoramic views, it was a clear and windy day so we could see for miles

Over stile at the very end of Ladysmith Road, and up. Kept left of the mast area, resulting me having to climb over the corner of a wall. I just followed the track down.

Was in Scalloway today so though i would bag this one seeing as it was a fine day. Used to stay near the school and wondered what the thing on the hill was, so this pillar is to be held responsible for all the hill walking i do now!

I parked on Ingaville Road and followed the track north to Berry Farm. Just beyond the cattle grid I turned west over grassland before picking up the track leading up the hill. The pillar sits surrounded by rocks and has a GPS plaque; FB faces SSE; NNW sighthole open, others plugged; original top with rasied letters. Great views from up here - Foula clearly visible in the distance, Hildasay, Sanda Stour among others, and down to Fitful Head in the south.

Quick visit in snowstorm, easily accessed from just beyond Berry farm. Views may be good but weather too poor to really know

Trig has nice views over Scalloway. Sits in what appears to be the makings of a cairn.

Interesting views west to the perrie isles off Scalloway. Luckily with the weather, many west mainland trig visible. Burwick looks a good place to visit to make a day of it.
