Installing the new indicator on Allermuir

Thanks to Keith , I managed to organise the timetable to fit in with this special ceremony. My grandfather AWR in 1964 had donated a view indicator on this fine hill , the highest of the Pentland Hills ( about which Robert Louis Stevenson wrote so fondly ) overlooking Edinburgh. It had been replaced at a ceremony organised by my father GSR in June 1991 , but had recently suffered from a fate of vandalism and been found damaged at the foot of the hill. Here it is , courtesy of NTS, being reinstated hopefully for another 60 years - kids please note !

                                            Terry Levinthal of NTS - the mastermind of the new indicator

      It was heavy ! Terry had carried it up fortunately - fog lifted just in time to check the viewpoints

                                                            Lucky it was dry

                                                              The magnificent result
