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. | thejackrustles | 06/10/2023 |
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. | Hirta | 25/08/2023 |
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 ago | vegibagger | 07/06/2023 |

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 C | 02/08/2021 |
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 M | 31/01/2021 |

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.Morters | 16/11/2019 |
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. | LizH | 27/10/2019 |
Knockhill racing BTCC lunch break. Grand views for minimum effort! | Tony S | 15/09/2019 |
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... | Jubilado | 05/07/2019 |
With Jenx and Bryher from farm to North, with permission | nordicstar | 17/01/2019 |
Very cold and frozen underfoot. | jenx | 17/01/2019 |

The Knockhill circuit looks like my childhood Scalextric from up here. | summitter | 04/11/2017 |
Parked at the racing circuit and walked up from West Lethans, then on to Saline Hill. | NormanW | 31/05/2017 |
Parking easy at race track- only a small event today. Followed track to aerial on top. Trig is the HP, on grassy mound outside aerial enclosures. | Denise | 14/04/2017 |
From a racetrack of little cars making farty noises. Sheltered behind a mast building in hailstorm. | Martin R | 16/04/2016 |
From Knockhill race track - parking outside. Track day, but easy access. Up the road. Onwards to Saline Hill. | Minto | 21/02/2016 |

Fine Day from Saline Hill with Dougie Martin | Loz_mck | 18/04/2009 |
Easy walk up from the Motor circuit car park. Just pick a day when there isn't a race on. | andy | 07/03/2009 |
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. | agentmancuso | 06/12/2008 |
