The trig has got its hat on Unusual "Lossiemouth" type triangulation pillar on Brown Muir. Like the pillar on Corriehabbie Hill, it has a cast iron lid. The OS database has it named "Findlay's Seat" The Ordnance Survey often named their pillars after neighbouring farms.

Triangulation point on Brown Muir What a day!; the wind is from the sou'west and gusting to 50 mph. Still the sun is shining and thoughts of a traffic jam on the M25 ease the situation.

View from Findlay's Seat Looking NNW to the coast at Lossiemouth, with the Lighthouse visible slightly to the left of centre. This view will be spoilt by the proposed Brown Muir Wind Farm. I did actually take the photo on New Years Day 2012, when I walked to Findlay's Seat with my wife and sister-in-law.

Shooting Seat WE couldn't make up our minds whether this is too rickety to use safely. It's for shooting roe deer. The man with the gun sits on his high perch and waits for a deer to appear below him.

Red Burn? The readily available modern maps don't name the burn, but as it flows close to the ruins of Redburn, it's not surprising that the 19th century maps call it the Red Burn.

Bridge over the Red Burn The bridge looks as if it's seen better days, but comparing it with <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/373998">NJ2755 : Bridge over Red Burn</a> shows that it hasn't deteriorated too much in the last 15 years.
