| From Burnside Hall, Balmullo, core paths through village & Coffin Road to pathed summit of Lucklaw Hill. Descent W through beautiful gorse, past Brighouse & House in the Hollow (fab name) to Logie. Up tracks & across a field to a small, pretty lochan for lunch. Up fields and all open gates to Forret Hill & it's small cairn. Descent to track W of quarry. Craigsanquhar climbed easily from path to South. Minor road to N of Craigfoodie Hill. Headed S through gate 150m W of Quarry & across easy fields to stone wall with gate against it. Used this to climb over, then pleasant ascent through gorse to old wall summit. Went on to Craiglug. Unfortunately many have climbed where the wall is collapsing. But there is a fab stone stile at West end of wall near cliff & beside a small wooden gate. Back to road via same route. On to Airdit Hill, climbed after Set Hill (pretty crag) from field edge to ENE. Good paths. Return to Balmullo via Willie's Wood. 19km of beautiful views & no cattle in fields | Lynnebe | 19/04/2023 |
| As per LizH. A fine stroll. | willyross | 20/02/2023 |

| Parked on School Rd not realising I could have driven much closer to quarry and route to top. | lordtonult | 10/10/2021 |
| Ceres club walk. Lovely day. Too much horse. | Play2End | 17/03/2021 |
| 6th hill of 15. Parked on quarry road at sign for walkers. | The Fife Flyer | 14/03/2021 |
| Lovely day. Grand snowy views | Freefall | 29/12/2020 |
| Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Agree lots of routes but no parking. Ended up in girl guide centre car park, very quiet today. Then up the road to the end, and took a left hand path in the direction of the trigpoint picking up a few geocaches on the way. Myriad of paths in these woods not shown on any maps. | thejackrustles | 27/09/2020 |
| Walked up from Balmullo. | Skerryvore | 29/02/2020 |
| Parked opposite a gate at 40914 20983, through the gate and followed a grassy vehicle track to the summit. (Had intended going up by the quarry, but lots of work going on. Quarry road is very badly potholed, so driving the length of that was not the best approach!) | LizH | 16/12/2019 |
| Parked beside mast in Quarry road, up through field | hillsman | 29/11/2019 |
| Pleasant circuit from Balmullo (parking at village hall) via Willies Wood. Descended through the lovely woods on the north side of the hill. | Fife Walking | 06/10/2019 |
| I walked up to the trigpoint and summit while doing a geocaching series here. | Alancache | 03/08/2019 |
| From Leuchars - lovely network of trails. | quadbarrel | 08/03/2019 |
| A round of 4 tops. Started from a layby next to the marked footpath SW of Lucklaw Hill. A pleasant walk to the summit, then eastwards down to Lucklawhill, into Balmullo for crisps and a butty, then along a good track to Cuplahills. A lovely detour through Willie's Woodland and on to the minor road to Airdit. At the entrance gate headed up a field edge to Airdit Hill before joining a track in the woods up and over the summit towards the Logie road. Turned left then right onto a track running just south of Craigsanquhar hill (detour to grassy summit), which continues to a footpath junction. Took another right turn to a gate (bull sign but no bulls present) over which there is a track pretty much to the top of Forret Hill. Then homeward to the car via Logie and Logie House. Took about three hours at a leisurely pace. | summitter | 13/01/2019 |
| Late afternoon. From parking junction of School Lane and Quarry Road, Balmullo. Short walk up road to gate into field just before Scottish water compound. Up field to upper gate then track/path to summit. Great views. | N.Morters | 21/09/2018 |
| With Marcus, Brodie & Rosie | Longwojo | 11/06/2018 |
| Nice wee hill to practice my new hip on | tallblond | 26/03/2018 |
| Self, Peter and dog. Warning: if you wish to park S of the hill, the minor road from the quarry west to Lucklaw is in a very bad state with deep potholes. Parking for 2-3 cars on the corner NO409210. | Invicta14 | 21/02/2018 |
| Looking north from the top there's heather, scattered pines...you could be on Speyside. Except that there's Dundee behind, but that's not a problem. | Pete R | 27/12/2017 |
| Best to park at Balmullo Quarry, rather than continue over pot holes aspiring to be craters. Ascended by the waymarked footpath through the wood, through the gate marked 'beware of the bull' (he and his family were absent), to the summit cairn and quickly back by paths and steepish grass on the eastern side of the quarry. Extensive views across the Tay and over St Andrews. | Nick Down1 | 12/10/2017 |
| Fabulous viewpoint over north sea, Tay estuary, Dundee and west to east and west Lomond | vegibagger | 31/08/2017 |
| Up from good parking just to East of quarry, other side of road. Over fence then steep up right edge of quarry, second gate and track to summit. W Jenx and Bryher | nordicstar | 03/07/2017 |
| From Logie X rds, pleasant walk through empty fields despite warning signs about stock. | NormanW | 27/04/2017 |
| From Cuplahills and via Willie's Wood, ascending through fields on the west side of the hill. Good views from top, including to Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin to the west. | Windy Corner | 23/04/2017 |
| Parked in community woodland carpark 200m to Sof Logie crossroads and followed the SROW path from W. Pleasant | Thearlaichdubh | 28/12/2016 |
| Parked easily at Balmullo Quarry which was locked up. Up through the field to the east of the quarry to a gate from which a track leads to the summit. claggy and horrid, pity, this hill must have great views. very quick bag. No livestock in field today. | hils | 05/10/2015 |
| From Balmullo - bypassed field with bull (well the sign said so anyway) round past quarry and up to summit. Returned via Lucklawhill. | callumorr | 01/08/2015 |
| Up the field from the S.E. Lovely views. | Play2End | 09/05/2015 |
| parked at quarry up rhs of quarry to the top, nice views. | robertphillips | 20/02/2015 |
| Parked in long passing space then walked back to previous parking space to access footpath to summit through a quiet field of suckler cows and calves. | Dugswell2 | 07/08/2014 |
| From Balmullo on path past quarry. | russell61 | 09/03/2013 |
| No access problems from SW on path marked on OS 1:50k. | agentmancuso | 16/04/2011 |
| Parking to the East is very problematic but the route up the hill is very pleasant through the woods. | andy | 15/05/2010 |
