Trig pillar S7985 - Knocknan or Blackcraig Hill
Trig pillar S7985 - Knocknan or Blackcraig Hill
Flush bracket faces 334°, NNW. The pillar was completed on 29th April 1954 costing £42.1s.6d. In 1954 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NX99/18 in the Dumfries secondary block. The flush bracket was levelled for height also in 1954. The trig point was last maintained by the OS in May 1988. This photo was taken from over 20m away from the pillar due to the very steep gradient of the highest slope.
