| Route as per ChrisR on forestry track, then along top of forest (pretty overgrown, better to cross on to moor), then surprisingly heathery slope to summit with tiny pool. Excellent views in all directions. | willyross | 30/11/2019 |

| 3 of 4: After leaving Novar drove to Eileanach lodge gates. Back up the road for 2 mins to a padlocked gate. The grassy track climbs round the west side of the hill to the col. Before the top gate turn right through trees onto heather slopes. Pool at top. Lots of flies. | ChrisR | 10/06/2019 |
| Good track, grassed over, gets you most of the way up, though the last bit is deep heather and sponginess | Colin Crawford | 01/07/2016 |
