From A93 by Wester Micras. Planned Brown Cow Hill but car struggled on A939 with all the snow, A93 was clear so looked for a route. Decent track over here to Geallaig Hill, deep snow most of the way today and no views. | PDuncan82 | 10/02/2024 |

Knock of Lawsie, The Maim, Geallaig Hill and Creag na Creiche from The Strone road. Also detoured to the prominent cairn at the western end of Geallaig's summit ridge. Glorious views of Lochnagar's snowy Northern corrie. | Nick Down1 | 07/05/2021 |
A rare beast - a deleted sub-simm - now a proud unclassified on HB with 18m of drop. On HS this makes it a Bishop (one of 3967 British & Irish Hills over six hundred metres with 15m OR MORE of prominence) Also as a subset of above its a SimmBeag -one of 413 tops again over 600m but limited to between 15m and 19.9m of prominence_ | Chris Pearson | 16/09/2020 |
From the Old Military Road, following the tracks in a circular route as they went over or by Geallaig, Creag na Creiche, The Maim, and Knock of Lawsie. Very impressed by the amount of pine and birch re-asserting itself on this otherwise barren hillside. | summitter | 05/09/2020 |
