History
Dunlop is a very nice, quiet village in rural Scotland and very small to the extent that as soon as we left the train station it was possible to view the post poking above the roof of the local church in the background. a short walk and we arrived at a rather steep hill surrounded with many guard sheep. The post has been welded shut and is still also locked on the original battleship padlocks. the external features have a rather interesting almost unique look to them and retain some green paint. unfortunately the FSM pipe has not gone missing, although this made it possible to see down into the monitoring roof which looked somewhat muddy and wet. regardless it would still be interesting to see the inside of this post as it is obvious that its never had the chance to be terrored by vandals and looters and looking at other Scottish posts it has some potential. near by is what looks like a buried fuel reserve hole.
