Parked at Tyrie Farm entrance and followed edge of stubble field to trig. The tree and vegetation which had been previously reported as engulfing it have been cleared and it's once again free.

Parked at the entrance to Tyrie Farm, walked in to nearby field, along the newly seeded field dyke line and up beyond the single tree, at the gap in the dyke the Trigpoint is situated in the corner in deep undergrowth.

Was in a bit of a rush to bag as many as I could before the sun went down, and if I'd researched this one better beforehand I'd have brought the bush-saw I carry in the back of the van with me to this one; regretted not having the time this evening to go traipsing back to the van to get it. As has been noted below, could do with a spot of TLC...

Follow the stone wall on the right in the field up towards the single tree. Go passed the tree and onto the a clump of small trees/bushes. Trig is buried in here with a fair bit of rubbish. Bit awkward to access.

2nd (and hardest) of 3 easy pillars in the late afternoon as I winded my way back north after Covid regulated Christmas with family, also stopping to see if I could see the humpback whale off Kinghorn. Parked at entrance to Tyrie farm, walked back along road as fields all ploughed and planted and wanted shortest route of muddy field edge. Would not like to tackle bramblely covered wall or tree around pillar in summer. Did not note condition of pillar, seemed relatively good given attack by tree. Reasonable views South over the Forth with Bass Rock and Berwicl Law visible to the east. Took a ton of mud back to car on shoes.

Parked opposite the field boundary on which the trig lies. Enough room for a small car. The wall opposite into the field is quite low so easy to climb up and over. Walked the field boundary to find the trig in nettles and thistles (this will be the theme of my day).

Space at East entrance to Tyrie Farm on minor road. Crops harvested so easy 5 minute walk directly across field. Pillar well hidden in nettles and uncooperative elder tree.

In here.

Unexciting one this (unlike the football later) set in a field corner in a grabbing hedge. Asphalt-filled plug, and didn't have time to determine the state of the sight-holes: a 'rockery' is set around the pillar, and I was in a rush to get to Starks Park in time for the kick-off. Raith Rovers 1-4 Falkirk. The Kirkcaldy folk were not happy!

Parked on the bend just past Broadleys Farm and negotiated the narrow field boundary north then east to the pillar still buried in shrubbery.

Good condition pillar lurking in the embrace of a large tree at the junction of a few fields. FB faces south-ish with east-ish and south-ish sightholes open. Cap missing but asphalt plug present. Views are OK. Parked at the entrace to Tyrie Farm and walked along road then up field edge.

Duff map reading took me right up through Tyrie Farm, but without incident. Tractor tracks through crops, pillar hidden under tree.

Parked in lay-bye on the main road into Kirkaldy just before the turn off to the Tyrie Farm road. Easy enough to find, follow the dyke to the pillar.

Tyrie Farm. Pillar and flush bracket.

Just outside Kirkaldy - views to Starks Park as well as down the Forth. Just about possible to follow the dyke beside the winter crops. Plug replaced, slightly chipped. Farmer has a tonka with the name of the farm as the number plate....

Built 27th August 1947 as one of four tertiary triangulation stations added to this area of Secondary Block NT48 (Edinburgh), four years after the bulk of NT48 was built. Pillar still in reasonable condition, the spider is now plugged with coarse cement. Flush bracket faces south. All four sighting holes are open. In the northmost corner of field to SW of boundaries. All surrounding fields are arable. Access from unclassified road to south following field boundary wall. Views to Kirkcaldy, Largo Law, Kellie Law, Bass Rock, North Berwick Law, Lammer Law. Also the tops of Arthurs Seat, Dundreich and Allermuir Hill. Originally visited 1985, revisited and photographed 21/02/2004, GRP.
