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.Jossker28/03/2024
Anticlockwise meander from Kingswell P&R. Gillahill, Cloghill and Kingshill. Lots of gorse on south approach to summit, Best approach from the west.bjewing06/10/2022

Old summit in pasture by cairn.....govanah04/12/2019

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 Pearson29/10/2019
From 90deg bend in road (NJ 8515 0740) - direct line to top, stone wall to negotiate just before summit field.jonglew27/10/2019

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 Singer05/05/2019
Remember thinking the old summit wasn't the highest point and visiting same area as Chris so still considering this as ticked.Dave McG18/03/2019

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]RHW27/03/2016
Walked up from the WSW to wood then ancient cairn surrounded by pasture.Dugswell222/10/2015

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. Brrrrrvegibagger24/03/2015
