Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 2nd of the 8 I have left on Islay! Known locally as the fairy hill and to be spotted for miles around. Great sea views. Parked at NR 43399 47986 and headed through gate to reservoir, then picked up various paths in the direction of the trig point, very muddy at first. On the way back found a track that led me all the way to the road at Dower House and avoided the muddy bit.thejackrustles13/05/2023
Squeezed into the back of a layby on the hill side of the road, opposite a small gate in the wall, still leaving space. Up to fence, then highest power line pole, and easier vegetation to rocky summit.Minto04/04/2022
Parking by Tigh Rhaonastil. Very attractive hill.Adrian04/04/2022
Followed an often flooded track from the road to just north of Loch nan Diol, heading off NE to the summit across open ground about 2/3rds of the way along it. Although this was fine, a far better route was discovered on the return. South from the top to the Gaelic cross headstone of the explorer John Talbot Clifton's grave, then to a stile SE of this marker, popping out on the road at the NE end of Loch a' Chnuic beach.summitter12/05/2021
After Ardbeg distillery. Parked near the two buildings, skirting to SE and easy onto top, plus trig. Good views down the coast.nordicstar19/08/2015
aka Fairy Hill. Not too far from the road, parked opposite Tigh Rhaonastil to gain the summit through waist high irises, fern, brambles, a small plantation and other vegetative barriers all placed on the steep sides of this small but awkward hill! A bit of a pain, but had to be done. A summit trig pillar was the driving factor.jonglew04/06/2014
