From church CP. With B and R | jenx | 28/09/2023 |
Pleasant stroll from Inverarity church car park. | willyross | 17/06/2023 |
Morning short walk on route to Glenshee. From Inverarity church parking. Up the track via the Henhouse, stayed with the main track round the hill to the top. More directly back via path to radio mast. | N.Morters | 15/04/2023 |
Parked at Inverarity church. | duchally | 27/03/2023 |
Had been to the mast before, went to the actual top this time. Hot day, so the summit raspberry was delicious! | IainT | 12/08/2022 |
Parked NO453448 (parking in wide entrance discouraged). Mapped track turning left at NO466451 on good track to trig. Onwards to HuMP on atv from mast almost all way up - very pleasant walk. Area replanted | carole engel | 10/05/2021 |
Parked at the end of the forest track. Pleasant walk up past open woodland and up past the mast. Track carries on as a grassy track towards the summit. Summit area appears to be on top of old stonework. Visited the curious wee 'folly' on the way back. | LizH | 26/08/2020 |
Have previously been on this top but date unknown. With Inez + Wilson, from South Bottymyre. | clashcityrocker | 24/07/2020 |
Local walk whilst visiting relatives: Long c15 mile circular walk from Forfar taking in Dunnichen Hill and Fothringham Hill and lots of quiet country roads. No issues social distancing! Heavy downpour at the summit of this one - so took advantage of the shelter offered by the folly mentioned by others. | benalder284 | 13/06/2020 |
Up the forest track to the trig point.Dull. | Play2End | 05/01/2020 |
Track from Bottymyre. Interesting folly/resting house about half-way up/down. | summitter | 04/01/2020 |

Weather fair. | MountainMac | 31/03/2019 |

From Bottymyre. | NormanW | 01/04/2017 |
From Bottymyre, track to mast, clearing through now felled forestry to summit. | Topographer57 | 14/08/2016 |
Tree felling made it all a bit of a mess. | Martin R | 13/04/2016 |
From south bottymyre parked in woods track to the top. | robertphillips | 15/11/2015 |
Park at junction of road to South Bottomyre then just a case of fallowing a forestry track and common sense to gain the mast then the watch tower can be easily seen. The trig is further east an well hidden by bracken so GPS will save time and energy. | Dugswell2 | 23/07/2015 |
From S Bottomyre - park off road in wood. Just keep faith with the track which goes round the SE side. 150 m after the impressive summerhouse the path bends back and goes up the ride to the mast. Somewhere around the nearby watch tower is the summit, but there is a lot of fallen timber, so don't worry | Thearlaichdubh | 26/12/2014 |
Via track from South Bottymire to pylon. Then firebreak to summit. | russell61 | 02/04/2013 |
Parked off B9127 at entrance to Bottymyre, track then firebreak to summit. | PeteF | 24/06/2011 |
Parked at start of road to Bottymyre - followed track the wireless station then along firebreak to top then S to other aerial then track back to car. | chrisbien | 01/05/2010 |
