The site has no vehicle access other than finding a path across rough, undulating, and in places boggy pasture. Future visitors should park at the junction of Woodlands Avenue and Silver Craigs Road and take the footpath, rather than approaching from St Cuthbert Road. Because of the dense woodland close to the structure on all sides except a narrow corridor to the north-east, photography is best done in the early evening.
The site is in Barrhill Wood and has nearby trees in the direction of the town. The transmission aerials are quite low down on the structure. As a result some parts of the service area have trees in the signal path. Many of the aerials in the town, including new ones, are aligned on Cambret Hill. The latter provides only poor signal strength, especially in the lower parts of town along the shore.
