| (Also visited S summit which can't be much lower) Round of Hill N of Glen Prosen from good packing in quarry near Buckhood. Fairly direct climb to The Goal, then along ridge to Craigs of Lethnot, Hill of Couternach, Coremachy, Cairn of Barns and Hill of Strone. Return along ridge, bypassing summits of Cairn of Barns and Coremachy, and climbed Knachly and Hill of Spott on return. Cold on the higher tops, but good views to Lochnagar and stayed dry. | RobertP | 02/08/2023 |

| Pleasant walk up from the south. Summit cairn to the east of a recently erected deer fence, but most of the stones seem to have been used to hold down the fence. | JohnW | 25/10/2018 |
