Parked at Inverarity church.duchally27/03/2023
Had been to the mast before, went to the actual top this time. Hot day, so the summit raspberry was delicious!IainT12/08/2022
Parked NO453448 (parking in wide entrance discouraged). Mapped track turning left at NO466451 on good track to trig. Onwards to HuMP on atv from mast almost all way up - very pleasant walk. Area replantedcarole engel10/05/2021
Parked at the end of the forest track. Pleasant walk up past open woodland and up past the mast. Track carries on as a grassy track towards the summit. Summit area appears to be on top of old stonework. Visited the curious wee 'folly' on the way back.LizH26/08/2020
Have previously been on this top but date unknown. With Inez + Wilson, from South Bottymyre.clashcityrocker24/07/2020
Local walk whilst visiting relatives: Long c15 mile circular walk from Forfar taking in Dunnichen Hill and Fothringham Hill and lots of quiet country roads. No issues social distancing! Heavy downpour at the summit of this one - so took advantage of the shelter offered by the folly mentioned by others.benalder28413/06/2020
Up the forest track to the trig point.Dull.Play2End05/01/2020

Tree felling made it all a bit of a mess.Martin R13/04/2016
From south bottymyre parked in woods track to the top.robertphillips15/11/2015
Park at junction of road to South Bottomyre then just a case of fallowing a forestry track and common sense to gain the mast then the watch tower can be easily seen. The trig is further east an well hidden by bracken so GPS will save time and energy.Dugswell223/07/2015
From S Bottomyre - park off road in wood. Just keep faith with the track which goes round the SE side. 150 m after the impressive summerhouse the path bends back and goes up the ride to the mast. Somewhere around the nearby watch tower is the summit, but there is a lot of fallen timber, so don't worryThearlaichdubh26/12/2014
