It was a bit grey and raining; cloudbase only a few hundred feet. But what waterfalls! As good as Milford and Doubtful in NZ

NN562097, LR57.
HISTORY
Pillar completed 19th May 1952 costing £56.17s.11d. Computed as secondary triangulation station NN61/3 within the Callander secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1952. Routine maintenance by the Ordnance Survey was last undertaken in July 1982. This marker was later visited by the OS on 31st July 2001. The OS Archive comments "base eroded".
SITE VISIT
Most unusual weather. In Stirling it was drizzle, and in nearby Callander it was heavily overcast but not raining. The cloudbase was down at 400m, so I was expecting a very miserable drizzly summit. Imagine my surprise when reaching the summit, at the sight of a clear blue sky and hot sunshine. Only the summit was clear, everything below was in dense mist. Looking over the easterly edge I was able to see my own shadow cast in the fog with a full colour halo centred on my head. My permanent halo is normally invisible. Trig pillar S6956 has not fared so well over the last twenty years. A large structurally damaging looking crack has split the pillar apart at FB height. The spider is plugged with a layer of brown plaster. Left and back sighting holes open. The flush bracket faces east, 82° according to my compass. No view due to surrounding cloud, which never lifted.

This was on the ceiling of the MFA today on a sad rainy day... reminded me of most paragliders' goals - getting to cloudbase.

These grainy shots are not the best ever Reds shots, however!! They are a tribute to undoubtedly the best Aerobatic Display Team. The Reds performed at Belfast City on 4 October 2008 in a cloudbase around 1500feet in pouring rain. No one expected a display everyone was once again thrilled at the skill on display. Their guiding motto is ‘Eclat’ which means brilliance, and they proved that again.
