Parked at the end of the road in nearby housing estate and walked the very short way uphill to the trigpoint which is on the fence line between two big electricity pylons which were audibly crackling! Quite extensive views but not the most inspiring. Trigpoint had old cans of Innis & Gun & Tennants beside it!

Parked at the end of Lawmuir Crescent and walked up a slight gradient towards the two massive electricity pylons. Pillar is along the fence line to the right of the walking track. Not the prettiest surroundings with the pylons and the housing estate, but surprisingly extensive views.

Once you read through the comments you will se that the only reason this is marked as slightly damaged is because the centre cap is missing , inline have marked it as good condition overall as the centre cap can be replaced

Turned north off A810 at mother and daughter sculpture. As road levels just before church on east of road, turned east along road between two blocks of flats. At end, uphill to north for about 150 metres towards electricity pylons. At pylons about ten metres to the east pillar is on field boundary. In amongst vegetation but visible. Bits of old dry stone wall and debris around base so uneven underfoot. Fairly good views to the east and south. Raised S prefix.

Easy access to the trig, straight up the hill towards the pylon from the no2 bus stop. Trig is by a fence overlooking an enormous electricity sub station.

Parked in Faifley just to west of pillar by the shops. Up grassy slope covered in rubbish, past big flock of feeding goldfinches and pillar dead ahead in heavy undergrowth. Easy stroll, views disappointing.

Trig collies bag again.

Eastern edge of Faifley, Glasgow suburb. Parked on edge of housing estate and walked up through long wet grass - just taken my gaiters off - doh! Trig getting quite overgrown, trampled down some vegetation but no gardening tools with me. FB facing wire fence, top edges and corners all chipped; cap missing, no plug; all sight holes closed though not certain on rear one. Good views through 360degs.

Cap missing and all sights closed with minor nibbling on the top corners of this urbanish BSM style pillar. Pretty dodgy checking the sights with summers nettles hiding broken bottle fragments around the mossy base. The overhead pylons make a pleasant hum - I expect flourescent tubes would be like light-sabres up here at night! :D

White Hill ..not so white.

Easy trig. The plug is missing (hence slightly damaged), but the FB is there and OK. Just keep walking up the hill following the obvious paths. At the top of the hill is some fencing with bushes in front of it. It is hidden near the pylon next to the fence.
