After reaching the summit of Ward of Scousburgh. With friend. From road towards Wester Quarff at junction off to Beneath-a-burn. The map showed what looked like a footpath ascending the hill towards Scrae Field. There was a fence going NNW along the line of the path initially. We followed the fence but there was not much evidence of a path. The path shown on the map ends between two buildings (war time radio station) short of the summit. There was now even less evidence of a path. We continued to the summit of Scrae Field. There is a trig point (concrete square section pyramid) on the summit. It was foggy so we could not see much. We returned more or less the same way.pwbellarby26/08/2013

Trig point at summit and a small red flag. Good Hill for Arctic hare.Danny Mc Neill28/12/2010
Bus to Scalloway with Lesley then walked back to Lerwick first south up and over this marilyn, down to school at Quarff then back roads / settlements back to Lerwick (YH). Scalloway was the home of the Shetland Bus in WWII - the nickname for the clandestine boat link with German occupied Norway. A skillfully sculptured memorial sits in pride of place on the sea front.Chris Pearson28/05/2009
