Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Parked at Knock Hill race track, walked up farm track to gate (which was open) and walked up mast track to trigpoint. Had to climb fence on the way back as gate locked, landowner clearly doesn't want you up this mast track.thejackrustles06/10/2023
Easy weekday parking at Knockhill Race Track. Followed route turning uphill near West Lethans Farm. Sign on barb wired gate saying No Footpath and another saying no entry during lambing. We proceeded up the track, since this route is on The Fife Walking website, and there was no sign of any livestock. Continuing on to Easter Cairn was horrible terrain.Hirta25/08/2023
Up the track to summit from north to the masts and trig pillar down steep grassy side and over middle tump then down and up second HuMP back contouring along northern base. This completes the Marilyn and it's two Bactrian HuMPs of Dumglow which I climbed some years agovegibagger07/06/2023

A really quick walk up here this morning to start the day off with as I'd bivvied out just off the access track a short way below the summit last night.Alex C02/08/2021
With L & R. Parked near racing circuit entrance (racing not on due to lockdown/snow). Lady farmer came out to say no access to hill due to cows on track. Asked if we could avoid them by a longer route and she suggested straight on through a couple of gates then up. Ascended left after second gate up towards a gate in fence and up a wide 'gully', then left to summit - trig and nearby mound. Back same way.Janet M31/01/2021

Following Saline Hill, dropped back to road via Hillview Farm. Trigpoint is mounted into what appears a large mound (probable old cairn). Highest point of cairn/mound 2m from trig.N.Morters16/11/2019
Parked in the big car park just behind Knock Hill racing circuit. Very quiet as racing had ended for the season. Followed the road towards West Lethans, then up the track for the aerials to the trig point. Continued on to Easter Cairn and Saline Hill. Clear day with good views.LizH27/10/2019
Knockhill racing BTCC lunch break. Grand views for minimum effort!Tony S15/09/2019
Rather than just bag the hill I decided to follow the route for Saline Hill and Knock Hill found on fifewalking.com website. Starting from Steelend community centre this leads round the end of Saline Hill to the back of Knock Hill via a path which is at best indistinct then steeply up to the summit. Very windy but exceptional views (between the masts). On to Easter Cairn...Jubilado05/07/2019

Easy walk up from the Motor circuit car park. Just pick a day when there isn't a race on.andy07/03/2009
Drove right in to Racing circuit car park. Took advantage of frozen ground to cut corners on track up. Over the top and on to Saline, which unsurprisingly is a much nicer summit.agentmancuso06/12/2008
