Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
With Clochandighter and jonglew. Lovely walk along a great track and then up the ridge line to the trigpoint. Good choice to fit in before the ferry. Stay well above the fenceline when heading off piste when you leave the main track, otherwise you’ll be on the ferry with wet muddy trousers like me! Roadside verge parking SE of Scarrabus farm. Good track initially then the usual Islay rough, boggy ground. | thejackrustles | 14/05/2022 |
