Trig Point

This is along our road and we often use it as a turning point when out for a walk. People apparently collect them similar to bagging Munros ! One of our neighbours recently painted it so it is looking quite smart.
When I was young I often climbed up Barone Hill on Bute where there was a Trig Point! It is surprising how many people wonder what it is and why it is there. I suppose there is no need for them now.
