Roadside verge parking due E. Short walk up the E face. | jonglew | 08/02/2023 |
Thursday 29th December, office closed, got off a train with the bike at Fauldhouse at 1311. Then caught the 1357 back home to Edinburgh. This time it was the right hill... I would have been there two hours earlier for consistency, but two trains were cancelled. It's steep, as bings can be, but I liked the summit. | Pete R | 29/12/2022 |
Surprised how steep this bing was. | Andrew Simmons | 19/07/2022 |
Not my best parking job but easy up and down from north-east. Quite steep but easy done if you watch your footing. | JAdair97 | 30/05/2022 |
P stupidly blocked off track entrance to NE, in by ruin & straight up, 5 mins. Quite likely I was up here before in April 2014, but records inconclusive. | agentmancuso | 12/11/2021 |
3rd of 8 in sunny drought conditions. Walking poles needed for steep ascent/descent. | lordtonult | 30/06/2021 |
Quite tricky in very slippy wet conditions | 49pp | 06/05/2021 |
From SE, small layby E side of road N side of well defended forest gate. Impressively steep | RHW | 26/04/2021 |

From road to east, parking on E side at track entrance with large rocks. Lovely little hill if steep sided, but a great view. West Lothian recompleted. | Minto | 15/08/2020 |
Parked at track entrance to North-east. Little rubbish there but a lot of broken glass. Walked south about 25 m and turned in on motorbike track then slip sliding up ruts in heavy shower to summit. Slithered back to car and all over in less than 15 mins. | Jubilado | 20/07/2020 |
Obvious bing and obvious approach tracks. Shame about the surrounding area and all the trash | Colin Crawford | 06/07/2020 |
On way to visit family. Train to Fauldhouse and then interesting short cut via Caledonian Road and swing park using tracks to obvious summit which is also boring. If you just miss the train Fauldhouse cemetery is extensive and well tended. W Lothian completed again. | Thearlaichdubh | 24/06/2020 |
On the way to edinburgh for a family visit, parked to the east at a track entrance full of dumped rubbish, along road south to a small building then up motor bike track ruts to the top. | robertphillips | 29/05/2020 |
Steep and quick ascent. | sclater | 31/01/2020 |
