From the west, parked on roadside just south of Longcairn Farm. Up through the fields following line of parallel stone dykes. The area round top is well guarded by gorse bushes but approach from NNW side avoids most of it. | Jossker | 28/03/2024 |
Anticlockwise meander from Kingswell P&R. Gillahill, Cloghill and Kingshill. Lots of gorse on south approach to summit, Best approach from the west. | bjewing | 06/10/2022 |
From west up track through field, over wall and up to HP. Access from South well guarded by gorse. | PeterD | 08/06/2022 |
From the west, visited both areas. | robertphillips | 29/12/2021 |
Revisit for new S summit. From W, road bend, track, gate, pasture, over low wall to grassy knoll in gorse on (presumably manmade) bank. Aberdeen recompleted | RHW | 07/05/2021 |
6 of 9 From 90deg bend in road (NJ 8515 0740) - up old track and then easy to top. One stone wall and some gorse and broom to push through at top. | sarahk | 29/03/2021 |
From SW. Round and round but eventually reached the top. Back down W through fields. | chrisbien | 23/02/2020 |
With wee bro, bit of a bash through gorse from SW | PDuncan82 | 15/12/2019 |
Parked car down near a track behind a house. Started walking up the track came to a lot of gorse jumped fence and went up the side of it to go through a field where there was the cairn.with big bro | Mikeyd1903 | 15/12/2019 |
Old summit in pasture by cairn..... | govanah | 04/12/2019 |
Annapurna like, the south face route proved too impossible for mere mortals such as me. No seracs, or crevasses but impenetrable gorse and broom, and electric fences which gave me a burning zap even through the insulating rubber. Retreated to use the voie normale up the SW overgrown track. Summit location at given grid ref in open pasture by cairn looked - questionable. I also visited a possible higher contender (and now confirmed) 150m S in the rough broom and gorse over two walls and hidden by a screen of trees from original grid ref for summit in pasture by cairn. New summit location supported by larger 200m ring contour on OS Maps - confirmed as new summit location a week later thanks to Lidar use by the hb Editors. | Chris Pearson | 29/10/2019 |
From 90deg bend in road (NJ 8515 0740) - direct line to top, stone wall to negotiate just before summit field. | jonglew | 27/10/2019 |
Parked on road to w. Up through pasture and over electric fence ( switched off). Extremely frisky herd of 30 bullocks stampeding around field adjoining summit. Nipped over wall sharply! | Campbell Singer | 05/05/2019 |
Remember thinking the old summit wasn't the highest point and visiting same area as Chris so still considering this as ticked. | Dave McG | 18/03/2019 |
Second in a cycle round of 4 tumps from Tillyoch E.C. Up from WSW as everybody else. Two wooden gates to climb. No barbed wire in sight. Cattle in field at summit. | Minto | 15/10/2017 |
From bend in road at Longcairn. A few barbed wire fences to cross. Cattle in the fields. | hill walker | 03/09/2017 |
From WSW, track, pasture. Unsure if cairn is ancient or modern; is a bit below natural HP in pasture [just the N summit - S summit visited in 2021] | RHW | 27/03/2016 |
Walked up from the WSW to wood then ancient cairn surrounded by pasture. | Dugswell2 | 22/10/2015 |
14.19 with views of Brimmond hill, the sunshine and calm has given way to a stiff cold breeze and the expected rain blowing in from the west is falling as flakes of snow and hail starting now. Brrrrr | vegibagger | 24/03/2015 |
