From Alyth via Cateran Trail. First to Hill of Alyth trig pillar, then across to Hill of Alyth summit and back on to Cateran trail for walk over to Bamff. Then Balduff Hill via Ardmorie (gate in deer fence at NO 22901 53500). Balduff Hill covered in heather and new tree plantings. Returned back to Ardmorie and back to Alyth using the other bit of the Cateran Trail. Very hot day. Poppy (the dog) decided to roll in poo and was very smelly for most of the day. | Fife Walking | 10/09/2023 |
Parked Dykehead. Up via Knapton Hill. There’s a gate in the deer fence to the SE of the summit. Even a faint track to the summit. Returned E dropping to the Cateran trail on a path. | Adrian | 09/06/2022 |

Thro Bamff to look for beavers; over Ardormie Hill and fence line to gate at cNO228535; then newly planted area, deepish heather, and more new trees to top. Nice view at present which will be lost when trees grow. | daviemore | 16/03/2021 |
From Dykehead church hall. Along the Cateran Trail before picking up track along forest edge. Exit over barbed fence and through deer fence, along path initially then up drainage/tree furrows to summit trig. 2/3 HuMP onto Craiglea | N.Morters | 07/10/2020 |
Parked between the road junctions, at the bins, where the Cateran Trail heads for Ardormie. Followed the Cateran Trail to a section of wood, then headed on a path straight towards the summit and a gate into the new planting. Walked along a ridge between the newly planted trees, which are still tiny Scots Pines. Higher up nearer the summit the walking was really awkward through the planting area. Returned as we'd come, though we did find a trace of an old path through the higher planted section. Lower down used a couple of gates to cut a corner along the edge of fields back to the Cateran Trail. | LizH | 30/11/2019 |
