From the parking area by the cattle grid on the Stow - Lauder road. The stone next to a trough by the roadside north of the wood seems to be the replaced Waterin' Stane, which features in Lauder Common ridings. It is easy to cross the walls at the end of the wood and follow the gently rising track to the summit.Nick Down131/08/2023

Same parking as everyone else. Took a long time to get round to this Marilyn, but it was very easy. 35 minutes, 20 to the top and 15 to get back down.Jhimmy12/07/2022
Same route as Winterfloodian. Very dry under foot. 1.75 miles very easy going, round trip under 45 mins.JulieB14/06/2022
Same route as Winterfloodian recorded yesterday. The gate at just up the road in the western side of the wood was very handy for gaining access to the fields which were full of sheep and lambs. 45 minutes there and back. A very windy day. I had climbed Meagle Hill earlier in the afternoon.KevPalmer13/05/2022
Parked beyond cattle grid. Through western edge of wood to small gate (tied up with string) into field. Up to large gate then followed sheep tracks to the summit.Winterfloodian12/05/2022
Parked on the B6362 at the cowgate, over the wall and through the field of sheep to the trig.JAdair9721/04/2022

Third hill of the day. Parked by cattle grid, crossed rough grass to climb wall and tangled wire. An ATV track through the middle of the field makes it easy going to the top.the pigguy 21/03/2022

Plenty of parking at the cattle grid to the north of the hill. Walked downhill and through the woods to a gate into the field. Followed fence around the pond to a gate. Through gate and uphill on a good grassy track to the summit. Solo.Dangerous Dave04/11/2021
Off road parking available at cattle grid as others have described. With J on a windy & showery day, followed E side of wood to four fence/wall junction. Easily crossed diagonally, then continued southwards on W side of fence to summit. Back by the same route & on to Meigle Hill.NotReallyABagger07/10/2021
