taken 17 years ago, 3 km from Fort Augustus, Highland, Scotland

Great Glen Project Station M
Great Glen Project Station M
This triangulation pillar was one of around sixteen built for a special survey of the Great Glen in the 1970s. These pillars were not part of the retriangulation of Great Britain and therefore do not appear on any maps. Cylindrical trig pillars were referred to by the OS as 'Vanessa' columns. This pillar has OSBM flush bracket number 11881. The photograph overlooks Fort Augustus and the SW end of Loch Ness. These hills are very rough terrain but the panoramic views are well worth the effort.
