Beautiful day, community centre now built.kittyhen04/03/2024
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 ?bjewing07/10/2022

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.lordtonult21/08/2021

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?sarahk29/03/2021

Wandered up from South Esplanade around all the streets, went up into one of the gardens of the flats, with wee broPDuncan8202/12/2019
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.jonglew27/10/2019

Disappointingchrisbien31/08/2019
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 Pearson14/08/2019
Visited during a day walking around the area, mostly in the rain.Alancache09/08/2019
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 siteColin Crawford24/07/2019

To answer Minto - for higher education.Martin R26/03/2016
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.vegibagger24/03/2015
An easy drive up. But why build a school on top of a hill?Minto01/11/2014
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.Dugswell209/06/2013
