NG3649 : Summit trig point

taken 12 years ago, 3 km from Blackhill, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Summit trig point
Summit trig point
The trig point which tops Ben Uigshader is a Vanessa style pillar. Access roads which have been built to service the turbines in the Edinbane windfarm have made getting to this hilltop somewhat easier than before, and personally, I do not find the whirling blades detract from the views over otherwise rather bleak and featureless moorland.
