Parked on verge near Blackness for a circuit of Glen Effock over 8 Tumps. 4/8 | PGCE | 27/02/2024 |
Parked at the large carpark at the end of the public road, then along with delightful Glen Lethnot. Estate track to the top of Cairn of Meadows, then Black Hill, Little Black Hill, Broom Craig. Double electric fence Cairn of meadows to Black Hill. Stiles at top of both, didnt need to use it CoM, but crossed it on Black Hill to reach where the OS thought the top was, inconclusive on that....lovely walk, gentle on the joints. | hils | 17/07/2021 |

Track all the way from Broom Craig. | Lindsay M | 20/05/2018 |
Solo. From car park at road end in Glen Lethnot. Along track in glen bottom to NO447729, then up track N. When track bends to W went N to col between Cairn of Meadows and Black Hill where found a substantial track (not shown on my OS 1:50,000 map) which was followed E to Black Hill. Shortly before summit there is a track junction with poorer track continuing towards summit and beyond. Double electric fence beside the track but there is a crossing point. Summit area grass and heather and rather flat. Continued to Broom Craig. Hail and snow. | pwbellarby | 30/03/2016 |
After Wirren Hill and West Knock. Poor track by fence after West Knock, summit just off to left then a good track back down to the valley | dickscroop | 10/09/2015 |
Met another estate worker who saw me surveying the summit (small flat rock north of fence) and drove up to make polite enquiries. Lots of shooting going on but he had no problem with me carrying on to Broom Craig and Cruys. | alda | 03/06/2015 |
