From the small car parking area on the corner just out the south side of the small village of Collace. Followed track up through grassy field and then up path through the gorse bushes to the open hillside and top. 1 of 5 Tumps in anti-clockwise circuit of the King's Seat section of the Sid Laws.Jossker02/12/2023

From Kirkton of Collace where there is good parking at the school. Over Bandirran Hill and up from usual path near Collace. On to Black Hill, King's Seat, Buttergask Hill and Gask Hill. Enjoyable 19km walk, 600m climb.Lynnebe31/05/2023

On way to Kings Seat.KevPalmer18/05/2022
A circuit of Dunsinane, Black Hill and King's Seat from the bend in the road SE of Collace. A path leads to Dunsinane, where amateur archaeologists in the 18th and 19th centuries have left a mass of grassed over diggings in the SE half of the hill fort. The path continues to Black Hill and the strange device on its summit and on past a lochan with two islets with trees to King's Seat. From there a path SW leads to a vehicle track descending west towards the Dun Burn. I crossed to the spur of land between its tributaries, where a style leads to vehicle tracks and open gates south of the two woods. A final BWF can be easily crossed at its corner near the start point.Nick Down115/04/2022
As per the jack rustles in fading light after plenty of rain. Not the best experience and will definitely have another day out! 8km in 2 hrsNicky C12/11/2021
Dunsinane Hill - Black Hill - Kings Seat from Collace on a baking hot day. Brilliant views but far too much up and down between hills for my liking! Back via ATV track and fields to sadly a barbed wire fence only meters from the car! Back up hill in field to gate at the top and back onto footpath. (NO 20905 32016). Totally shattered at the end.thejackrustles16/07/2021

Parked on lane near Collace - Took straight gorse lined path up to Dunsinane Hill (as mentioned in Shakespeare's Macbeth). Black Hill next thinking this was Kings seat alas no as a heavy shower finds us, just a TV dish up here. Kings Seat with its White trig a bit further. On through the heather. Summit bagged we drop crossing Den Burn and skirting Black Hill. On last climb though to explore the hill fort on Dunsinane Hill before returning to the car.briandavies27/04/2019

Solo. From parking area SE of Collace where a path to Dunsinane Hill starts. Up path to Dunsinane Hill. On summit is impressive hill fort. Dunsinane features in Shakespeare's play MacBeth. Continued to Black Hill and King's Seat. Looked for Broch marked on OS 1:50,000 map but rather doubt that there is one. Descended from King's Seat on track to Fairygreen Farm and the road and hence on the road back to Collace.pwbellarby17/02/2012
