Easy track access up from Loggie then dot to dot around the big hay bale rolls on a stunningly warm crystal clear day - with the shimmering North Sea impersonating the Med (a first?). Also clambered up the higher summit mound of overgrown rubble debris. Wish I had looked a lot more at the ground (or had taken a metal detector) as I now read that in 1852 in the summit field an urn containing over 200 1st - 3rd century denarii was found during trenching! The hill is also cited as one of the possible sites of the Battle of Mons Graupius - where in AD83, if the account is to be believed, up to 30,000 clashed in battle as the Romans beat the indigenous Caledonians -who were forced to fight to defend their grain stocks or face a winter of starvation. With victory here the Romans fully conquered Britain, before leaving to focus elsewhere in their empire. Quite an extraordinary history for what appears to be a n other field.Chris Pearson20/09/2019
From new roundabout at start of bypass then across stubble fields.hill walker21/10/2018
Way up from Forester's Croft now blocked by AWPR workings. Went round the other side and tracks from Logie get close... freshly ploughed fields at the top.nix_snilloc20/02/2016
