Nice walk along the grassy moorland from Troweir Hill. Visited the trig before returning to Laggan Loch, then path down towards Girvan. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 15/10/2023 |
Done as twin-top,just in case. | bjewing | 26/01/2020 |
After Laggan Hill. Descended to Fauldribbon. Some gorse problems on the way.Also visited trig point after summit. | NormanW | 18/08/2017 |
5th Tump of the day although 6th hill on a rainy day route from Maybole to Girvan via 7 hills, climbing Knockbrake (Craigdow, non-tump out and back) Kirk Hill, Quarrel Hill and Craighead Hill, exploring the Baron's stone of Killochan, a huge glacial erratic where the Baron's used to meet to sort out their affairs. I accomplished a covert crossing of the Water of Girvan on a private footbridge onto a minor road to Old Dailly then briefly on the B734 before using a gate to climb diagonally across to follow the Camregan Glen. I used a gate at the top to cut across the now easy to tackle streams before heading Sw to the Trig and then South to the summit Knoll, a raised section with thick coarse reeds/sedge growing in it, also explored area 30 m SE, that is a similar height. Continuing to Troweir Hill. | Dazingdale | 15/05/2017 |

Continuation of walk from Troweir Hill. Tried to follow high ground north, but got wet in reedy bogland before reaching flat summit. Trig point looked higher than the reedy tumulus, and with a better view. To descend crossed head of Glendoune glen and took west ridge of Troweir Hill down to track again. | Man of Kernow1 | 30/05/2014 |
Parked by Glendoune road. Up road then track to pick Dow Hill, then circuit of Laggan Hill, Troweir Hill and Saugh Hill, plus trig. exceptionally clear and sunny weather. | nordicstar | 25/08/2013 |
