| No other cars at entrance ro Pairney, so easy parking. Path starts opposite the cattle barns. Clear path, relentlessly steep, thankfully short. Craig Rossie is a magnificent viewpoint, all along the highland line. Path goes on to Beld hill, then you can drop down to lower track. Ample evidence of cattle everywhere, but thankfully all still in those barns. | hils | 15/04/2024 |
| 48th ascent. | richtea5040 | 15/01/2024 |
| From Pairney all the way to the high point of the track. From here ATV track to Beld Hill 365m, then ATV and single to Ben Effrey. Single to Craig Rossie and Trig. S on path to Beld Hill 412m. S past fence gate junction and up fire break between large and small conifers to Simpleside track. Up Simpleside Hill which is easy grass path from track. Back down track to The Slack where Banekist Burn was crossed just S of some deciduous trees at widening of track. East of craggs to ascend Rossie Law, easy but steep, could see straight through trees. Reversed route and out on track past Tarnavie. 2 field edges and back at Pairney. | Lynnebe | 11/11/2023 |
| Easiest from pairney start point. Also easy from tarnavie. Pairney, choice of ascents, nice path from N accessible either from the first barn on the track, or further up along the fence just past quarry. Do visit the Fort on that side! If continuing on track, Ben effrey is a must, and the Fort there. Good path from there to beld Hill N top, south top easy to access from there. If on the tarnavie track BTW, you can go S to a fence junction and a gate. If you enter the forest there, a path takes you down to the S side of the wee lochan on the simpleside track. There's also an excellent ATV track near where the marked firebreak is from the simpleside track up to the ridge just south of CR, starts just S of the big bend, noting that forestry has all been felled. No brash on that ATV track. | Belfarm | 27/01/2023 |
| Circuit of Beld Hill, Ben Effrey and Craig Rossie from Pairney. | Fife Walking | 28/08/2022 |
| Up a pleasant path from Pairney, return via Beld Hill. Great views. | fasgadh | 01/06/2022 |
| The forest has been felled, so if coming up via the forest track you'll be faced with a mountain of brash. I found a route up from the path bend at approx NN 991 120 which follows a burn and avoids the worst of it. | kathyh | 18/04/2021 |

| There is room for limited parking at the start of the farm track just east of Pairney - otherwise there is a layby just to the west of the farm. A pleasant walk along track and then by path up Ben Effrey. Easy walking via Beld Hill to the summit. Descended north east by path. | JohnW | 01/06/2018 |

| Path/track from Pairney to fence. Gate at right angle bend in fence. Path to top of Craig Rossie then mostly along fence to both tops of Beld Hill and back. | chrisbien | 06/05/2017 |
| From Beld Hill, easily along fence line. Onwards to Rossie Law, via Green Hill. Descent slightly S of E to forest track through mature trees. Quite dark nut minimal foliage to deal with, apart for entering and leaving the forest. | Minto | 05/12/2016 |
| As per walkhighlands route from the farm. Straight up and same route back. Great clear day with excellent views. Steep in parts. Slightly over a mile to the summit. Could be tricky when wet underfoot. | Stevend1 | 21/08/2016 |
| From Beld Hill. Then followed the fence line north back to the B road. Very hard going with the bracken so high! | Play2End | 29/07/2016 |
| From north, direct route underneath crags to col and approach to summit. Very rough ground with scree and soft, mossy heather. Returned via Beld Hill and a narrow firebreak down from 987118 to track at 991119. | Topographer57 | 16/12/2014 |
