Cockleroy is a little hill 278 metres high, lying south of the town of Linlithgow in Beecraigs Country Park. Despite its relatively low height, it gives a commanding view, especially to the north over the Forth Valley.
The indicator was erected by the Automobile Association in 1980 and is a metal disc on a plinth of local stone. It shares the summit with an Ordnance Survey trig pillar which lies just yards to the north-east.
Cockleroy, meaning the 'Hat of the Kings' is an easy ascent from a car park a few hundred yards in the woodland to the east, reached by a minor road from Linlithgow.
