| Horrible hill! Extensive gorse plus spruce growth and some fallen trees. Gorse has been partly cleared on the N so maybe better from there. Little parking on minor road to W, but good spot at the entrance to a dead end track heading E. Only 1km to the summit but thrash thru veg most of the way. Better to use fields but still need to negotiate summit thickets. Tracks on map very overgrown. | govanah | 19/03/2023 |

| From Rothiemay Cemetary, walked NE along B9117 until Inchcorsie then followed forestry road uphill. Final stretch through trees, gorse then felled debris. | 187lenny | 08/05/2020 |

| Parked at end of track to SW (561492), not recommended if you value your car's paintwork. Rough ground east to track then better to top. A few candidates for the high point, the 266m spot height on Geograph, ~30m east of the 1:50000 265m spot seemed most likely. | Dave McG | 20/09/2018 |
