Solo. From ferry terminal went N a little on road, then S uphill on tarred access road. Green track goes off to the right - doesn't go far but only a couple of gates between there and the summit.pwbellarby18/06/2019
Revisit from ferry queue while waiting for ferry back to MainlandRHW15/06/2019
Parked near barn at end of lane. Then over fence and easy walk up to substantial remains of chambered cairn.Campbell Singer11/06/2019
Up the first side road after the ferry and parked on a verge before the last house. Deep veg to the fence, then easy ground on short heather and grass on sheep tracks, over a bump, a small dip and the grassy summit beyond crowned by the very fine chambered cairn. A very fine hill for such a small tump. Nice views back to a cloudy mainland, West Linga and over Symbister to Ward of Clett.Gill26/08/2018
Parked at HU 5372 6205. Over stock fencing and direct to hill top. Chambered cairn with no roof. Nipped down to the lighthouse, a trig intersected station.jonglew26/08/2018
