| From Innellan up Garrowchorran, Corlarach, Beinn Ruadh, Toward Hill, Achafour and Buachailean then down towards Toward. A joyous romp experiencing the best of Argyll: tussocks, sucking bogs, closely planted spruce with some clear felling laid on for variety, deer fences, barbed wire, gullies and mud. This was the best hill by far with cracking views. | sclater | 09/01/2023 |

| Last of four hills and very definitely the best of them. Tremendous views over Bute to Arran, then a pleasant path down to Toward. | Colin Crawford | 21/06/2018 |
| Fantastic wee hill | fergie | 30/07/2016 |
| Good path past Toward Castle(old) to Chinese ponds and onward to open hill. A shorter more direct route starts from Ardyne car park which avoids Chinese ponds although may initially be signposted to them but keep left.Both routes then come together. Sometimes referred to as Volcano Hill locally it is a very fine viewpoint due to its position at the end of the Cowal peninsula and its relative height. Bute and Arran dominate and on a clear day Beinn an Tuirc ( Kintyre ) Beinn a’Chaolais ( Jura ) Ben More ( Crianlarich ) Ben Lomond, Conic Hill, Earl’s Seat ( Campsie Fells ) Shalloch on Minnoch, Kirriereoch Hill and Merrick can all be seen. | chalky1953 | 01/06/2016 |
