Beautiful day, community centre now built. | kittyhen | 04/03/2024 |
I was sitting on a garden wall at the summit watching the construction of the new community building when the number 59 bus drove past. Does this count as a tip for the top ? | bjewing | 07/10/2022 |
High point currently old pavement surrounding new building site. | willyross | 24/07/2022 |
New build in progress, high point could be anywhere in circle | hillsman | 30/06/2022 |
Late evening bag. | robertphillips | 28/12/2021 |
School in circle now demolished | Basingstone | 11/10/2021 |
If rubble mountains of former academy remain they could become the new HP. Stepped out of the car in Tullos Circle in case they don't. | lordtonult | 21/08/2021 |
Wander around South Grampian Circle/Tullos Place. | JasonStark | 15/08/2021 |
1 of 9. Went to derelict garden by flats but left immediately. Local resident found behaviour very suspicious (understandably!) How would I be able to explain? | sarahk | 29/03/2021 |
Drove here whilst filling in time | 187lenny | 14/12/2019 |
Wandered up from South Esplanade around all the streets, went up into one of the gardens of the flats, with wee bro | PDuncan82 | 02/12/2019 |
School closed and probably due for demolition - if redeveloped for residential housing will be interesting to see what happens to the high point. As it is very difficult to determine exactly where it is. Had a wander round. | jonglew | 27/10/2019 |
Bagged while geocaching in the city | Pilotralph | 04/09/2019 |
Disappointing | chrisbien | 31/08/2019 |
Top of a large housing estate created as a garden suburb of Aberdeen but sadly now the most deprived area in Aberdeen City (from an Analysis of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2016). 
 The depressing analysis carried out by Skills Development Scotland demonstrates that children from the most deprived areas are less likely than their peers to enter a positive destination (education and employment). On a more hopeful note the current demolition of the summit Academy School, replaced by the new £47 million Lochside Academy with its superior facilities is a step in the right direction. | Chris Pearson | 14/08/2019 |
Visited during a day walking around the area, mostly in the rain. | Alancache | 09/08/2019 |
A quick walk up before my bus home. I'd concur that the high point is around the house gardens to the south of the school, currently a demolition site | Colin Crawford | 24/07/2019 |
With Gordon and Barbara. Minimum effort. | Campbell Singer | 05/05/2019 |
Walked across road, with C. | PeterD | 29/05/2018 |
Walk from City Centre to roundabout | trimarc2 | 20/05/2018 |
Final Aberdeen tump. Should of planned better. | andrew brown | 21/12/2017 |
Walked around roundabout and adjacent road. | cjo | 12/05/2017 |
Level summit area. Front gardens of houses S of Torry Academy slightly higher I think | RHW | 27/03/2016 |
To answer Minto - for higher education. | Martin R | 26/03/2016 |
16.25 and as I wandered up Grampian place toTullos.circle and to the Torry academy building on the summit of the tump I saw the sign saying 'Big Noise' they must be celebrating the first finisher, I tongue in cheek thought!!. The final piece in the jigsaw. The only one of the Aberdeen unitary authority tumps south of the river Dee. | vegibagger | 24/03/2015 |
An easy drive up. But why build a school on top of a hill? | Minto | 01/11/2014 |
Tricky Speirs spotted this TuMP on the ferry and demanded that we bagged it before going to ASDA to add to my almost empty diesel tank for the trip south. Flattish top so had a good walk around. | Dugswell2 | 09/06/2013 |
A dash in and out. Windows locked. | Play2End | 01/06/2000 |
