Parked by the bridge near the road end in Glen Prosen for a circuit of Hill of Strone (went straight up to pick up ATV track past shooting butts), Eskielawn, Bruntshields and The High Tree. | PGCE | 21/02/2024 |
Parked on verge N of Cormuir in Glen Prosen. Opening the gates onto the ScotWays signed hill track to Glen Isla is a puzzle worthy of the Krypton Factor. Thereafter it is easy going, even after veering off the path to follow Eskielawn's N ridge. It is worth avoid the direct route through a shallow corrie which is home to many tussocks. On the way back, I followed the ridge as far as the summit of Hill of Strone before cutting down steeply through heather to the track. | Nick Down1 | 11/10/2023 |
From large parking spot near bridge at NO 29380 67905 walked down the road to Cormuir. Then up track to Hill of Ardenaich. Intermittent track/path across to Corwharn. Debate about which tussock was the actual summit. Heather and bits of path down north west shoulder to track. Then took in Hill of Strone before descending directly down rough hillside (there is a path but some members of our group decided to forsake it for the steep rough heather) back to cars. | Fife Walking | 23/07/2023 |
From the Backwater viewpoint carpark past Glenhead Farm and Hole then through the recently felled Drumshade Plantation to Hill of Strone. Along the fence line up to Eskielawn then NNW along ATV tracks to Bruntshields. Headed back via Black Binks and Cuilt Hill, both of which had worn routes through the heather and long grass making passage relatively straightforward. | summitter | 23/01/2022 |

Descent from Corwarn | nordicstar | 24/01/2016 |
Wet. As an adjunct to Corwharn. Was it worth the effort? Of course, great views, fabulous scrambling, flowers and edible berries galore, fascinating animal life and teeming with historical references.
