Quick bag with Mikey, parked at the old aboundond farm and ran across the field to the highpoint and the trip pillar as well which is unfortunatly lying in a ditch.Blair51223/03/2024
From Balbirnie Park, good parking in S carpark off B9130. Along FPW turning off towards Dalginch Farm. Over gate after farm and straight to Dalginch trig. Back same way and S back to FPW. Up past Newton Hall and Burnside to do a beautiful circuit of Donald Rose Reservoir. N past Ballinkirk, through Milldeans Wood and Kirkforthar Wood. S on track past Cardsknolls and up stubble field before housing. Found recumbent Hilton trig in dump near its original position. FB still visible. Continued past Star Moss and over Cuinin Hill on good paths back to Balbirnie Park. 25km of beautiful countryside on cold, frosty day.Lynnebe29/11/2023

Room to park across road from track end. Got to about 10yds from summit as most of field was turnips covered with plastic sheets.duchally16/01/2023
Tried to find the trig. No luck. Still neeps. Had tatties.Play2End16/01/2023
Farm empty and up for sale. Cottage lived in. Crops covered with netting but still possible to access the summits. Summit by tipping area seemed higher.Adrian16/08/2022
Field for this season is sown to Neeps. Nice and easy to get to the HP. Shame about the trig just push aside into a ditch with other farm rubbish.Andrew Simmons06/07/2022

Trig dumped near a rubbish tip, shame really.Dibs20/03/2021
2nd hill of 11. From the north, trig has been moved, in a hollow and on it's side.The Fife Flyer20/03/2021
Unable to access summit / trig as field had been ploughed (not unexpected but thought I would take a look anyway). Wanted to record the fact that there is a sign at the bottom of the road indicating that the site is for sale with planning permission for a holiday village with 10 lodges. Will return later in the year and hopefully bag the summit.Fife Walking11/03/2021

I couldn't muster the nerve to drive up the track so parked a little way south on the road. The trig was in a stubble field, probably not so easy if crops are plantedColin Crawford04/12/2017

Parked on minor road NO306058. Along track and over wall to trig point.Play2End06/01/2015
Drove all the way to top of track and parked in front of old garage (car visible inside). Saw no one. Over wall/fence across stubble field to trig. Would be V. Difficult to bag when crop was in field. I'd suggest visiting in late summer / autumn.Minto25/10/2014
P halfway up track to Hilton. To trig and to E which looks a similar height.chrisbien20/09/2014
