| Parking at Tonguey Faulds FC CP at NO 016082 (motorhomers beware £7 fee). Followed forest road W to junction at NO005085, then R (NE). Before high point, an ATV tk goes up L (W) side of felled plantation to join a new area of planting, a central line up one of the grass lanes between planting lines leads to a thin FP which leads to an easily surmountable fence before summit | Isbjorn | 26/09/2023 |

| With L&R. From Castlehill Reservoir after Hillfoot Hill. | Janet M | 14/03/2021 |
| MC JC O From the reservoir and back by Seamab Hill and the waterworks. Superb visibility and a little snow on the ground. | Martin66 | 05/12/2020 |
| From Castlehill Res up through forest above Glenquey. Target Seamab but Commonedge Hill was where we broke onto the skyline - fine, slightly hazy views as far as N Berwick Law. Great soft grassy ridge walk to Seamab then down by WW and Reservoirs Way. Fine, easy walk. Would make great hillrunning. With H and Tess. Sunny and warm. | niallp | 19/09/2020 |
| Self and dog. Rather damp. | Invicta14 | 23/08/2020 |
| From CP at Castlehill Reservoir, up the road then on Forest track round NW of Auchlinsky hill (small detour on way up to get on to Auchlinsky hill itself) then back on track to Commonedge Hill before continuing to Seamab Hill. Returned via Works and then followed Woodland Trail back to CP - Beautiful sunshine making for amazing views | Al_N | 26/04/2020 |
| Circular with Seamab Hill. Wet & cloudy! | TRG318 | 07/12/2019 |
| Parked at the Castlehill Reservoir car park and followed forest tracks and then path to the summit. Cold and breezy, but clear day. | LizH | 27/10/2019 |
| Pleasant ascent on track first through recent Woodland Trust plantations and then on a wide ride through conifers - then on to open land and style leading to summit. Route to Seanab Hill looks interesting, but rain restricted my plans. | JohnW | 18/10/2019 |
| From Castlehill Reservoir parking. Up the track and through the nature walks to summit. Hazy but warm sunshine | N.Morters | 18/04/2019 |
| From Castlehill CP via zigzag track across the flank of Auchlinsky Hill. The summit of Commonedge Hill is startling airy as the path leaves the trees, and the view to the shark's fin of North Berwick Law and across the Forth and Fife is outstanding. A track leads through a gate into the forestry at Hillfoot Hill. After playing forestry snakes and ladders - diverting around fallen trees and diving along clear avenues between tree rows - I came upon a strip of grass. At its upper end is the summit, occupied by a series of camouflage screens made from branches and brushwood and, inside them, a blue tarp shelter. An unexpected find. | Nick Down1 | 25/06/2018 |
| Clear blue December skies, no wind, below zero ... and a great view to the new Forth Bridge. | summitter | 10/12/2017 |
| From CP at Castlehill reservoir via forest road at Auchlinsky Hill emerging on the top ridge for a view. Return over Seamab Hill to Nether Auchlinsky. | neimcv | 14/11/2017 |
