Second visit to the pair of bings, from the canal. Trail riders out in force | Colin Crawford | 04/03/2023 |
From Corecut, as others, good verge parking (NT 0825 7383). Multiple tracks lead up to the main top and across to here. Returned at lower level following well established tracks to emerge on road at Greendykes (NT 0811 7326). | jonglew | 08/02/2023 |
Steep down and up from NNW. Skirted main bing and crossed harvested field to Corecut. | lordtonult | 23/08/2022 |
Same route as JAdair97. | Andrew Simmons | 05/06/2022 |
From the main top to the stagnant water and then up the fairly steep path to the summit. Circumnavigated the main hill from the south and then skirted the farmer's field back to the main road and my car at corecut. | JAdair97 | 19/05/2022 |
Bike trails from Corecut. | summitter | 25/02/2022 |
On from main top, down and up steeply on tracks. Followed nose down SW towards track along abandoned railway bed, which curved all the way round to c.250m S of right angled bend on B8020, field edges back to start at Corecut. | agentmancuso | 19/11/2021 |
After main summit. Then back along canal and X25 bus back to Edinburgh. | Thearlaichdubh | 28/04/2021 |
From the Corecut depot entrance on the B8020, over the main top, then a steep descent and re-ascent to this one. Returned the same way. | NormanW | 15/10/2020 |
South top and the main bing from industrial estate over the canal bridge. A really enjoyable wee trip up these steep hills and great viewpoints. Could these be the best bings in Scotland? | sclater | 12/09/2020 |

Uphall station-Pyothall trig-Greendykes Bing-GB S top-Ratho Hill-Tormain-Kirknewton station | campagvelocet | 19/04/2018 |
A walk along the canal then over the bridge to follow a muddy track westward. At a junction followed this path to the right and after a short sharp climb turned east. At a fairly open area followed a shallow 'valley' eastward to the summit. Good view of Forth Bridges and white hills in Fife. | Jubilado | 25/11/2017 |
After main top. Pleasant traverse revealing a lovely little lochan and excellent red exposed rocks. Back down to canal and then bus from Broxburn back to Edinburgh. Best bing in W Lothian. | Thearlaichdubh | 07/11/2017 |
minto rhw route from industrial estate. | robertphillips | 24/02/2017 |
The hill was enlivened by the Sunday afternoon trials bikers. I chatted to one, who pointed out the slope where he fractured his skull five months ago... | Pete R | 20/12/2015 |
From S, Minto route. Parked Clifton View, straight towards bing, over bridge then straight up nice little spur, firm shale and a few scrambly bits, grassy summit. W doen easy valley thrn ran down scree gully. Great little hill. | RHW | 12/12/2015 |
From B8082 along road to Industrial Estate after a wander about found the hidden valley and used it up and down. First walk since tearing a thigh muscle | chrisbien | 15/08/2015 |
Reclaiming my county completion for West Lothian. Directly up from the canal bridge, quite a fun route. | Colin Crawford | 25/07/2015 |
From the NW corner of the industrial estate to the south, lots of parking. Across open ground to bridge over canal. 
I went straight up (like you do) lung-bursting thigh-tearingly steep. Easier way would be to continue to left (west) working your way round and up, to ascend a long 'hidden valley' which emerges on the plateau very near the summit. This is also a good way down! Very flat summit area. | Minto | 30/06/2015 |
