| Not ticked not attempted but worth a visit to this superb bit of coast, from SW, drove past farm to park by dunes, visited Tor Ness lighthouse too. With Tim Hamlet. Agreeing with earlier note, 55m based on GPS and clifftop contour level with summit. | RHW | 28/07/2018 |
| Got as close as ND 24245 90093 to take a photo of the summit of The Needle and take a selfie....realising only too well that the summit is beyond my reach | ad-lib | 13/06/2017 |
