Parked next to a field gateway near Humbie Farm. Following the path along the hedge line, beside the planted grain field up to the Trigpoint. Trig in good condition. Return retracing route

Not our first choice of pillars today, but with the weather a lot duller and wetter than forecast decided to keep ‘better’ options (eg Binny Craig) for a better day. This one is very simple to get to but nothing exceptional about it.

Parked at Scottish Water gateway for the wee loch (NT 10864 75735) walked round along private road to open gateway along field edge to trig. Nice and easy.

My daughter recently moved to Kirkliston and this is an easy walk up the B800 passing under the railway and motorway and a number of enclosed safe dog walking areas to the good track heading west along the edge of wooded area around Dundas Loch to where 2 fields met at NT113760. The trig was easily found in amongst remnants of a hawthorn hedge 200m south along the field edge. Not the best day for views etc but pillar in good condition with centre cap in place.

Cycled from Dalmeny, through South Queensferry, then south west through Westfield and Swineburn, then east past the reservoir then along the lane towards Humbie Farm. At hedge line running north between fields on foot to almost the top. Pillar quite well hidden from distant view and on approach by vegetation. On uneven ground. Good views towards the Pentland Hills and south west. Open field to the north. Back to Dalmeny east along lane then walked through field below motorway embankment, adventure but slightly shorter.

As others, parked by the gates to the reservoir, then walked around the boundary of the field (young green shoots in field prevented me charging straight across for the shortest route). Then up from the south along the field boundary to find the pillar which retains its cap with shallow lettering, one sight-hole open, and another pierced. About 20 minutes in all.

P109 parked at reservoir, jumped over gate and found a wee track to field. Then followed tractor tags around fields to trig.

Parked at the gates to the reservoir and headed back to the private road to Humbie Farm and then up the hedgerow to the pillar. Plenty of room at the field boundary despite the field not yet being cropped. Interesting home made signs recommending the use of a stick waved above your head to ward off over-protective buzzards. Not great views from this one.

Walked up the road to the golf club then found the permissive path to aid progress to summit of Dundas Hill. I enjoyed viewing the Llamas on a foggy morning before heading over to Humble Farm trig.

Pulled over on narrow road about 1.5miles from trig to check map. Pick-up came along, stopped along side. Driver asked me *Are you lost?* Told him wanting Humbie Farm. *Follow me!* Took me right up private road to Humbie Farm to required hedge line! Perfect! Tractors in field lifting straw bales.

Came in via open reservoir gate to west and across stubble field, back out to south. Access would be better from that direction when crops growing.

vgc, metal cap, shallow letters, in hedgeline beside stubble field. Track to W leads to resr apparently. Last trig of the day, lights of Kirkliston with Pentlands behind.

Previously thwarted by crops on this one, but now they have managed to combine the field, its an easy visit. Very good condition, in a hedgerow. Buzzard in residence. Intact.

Located a mile north west of Kirkliston on an intermittent hedge boundary between two arable fields. This is furthest outlying Edinburgh trig, over 9 miles from city centre. Easiest accessed from south. Views to Turnhouse, Lammer Law, Blackford Hill, Wester Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hills, Allermuir Hill, Scald Law, West Cairn Hill, Binny Craig, Ben Cleugh. Pillar in excellent condition, spider retains original OS plug with shallow engraved font. Flush bracket faces NNE. Weather sunny. GRP 24/08/2003.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 6th April 1944 costing £5.4s.9d. In 1947 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT18/T24 in the Dunfermline secondary block. The flush bracket was measured for height in 1964. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in April 1980. On boundary line between arable fields.
