Parked along the road to the SSW, near to West Lodge. From here, estate tracks run past the ruined Wester Pitlour farm buildings and on to Brownies Chair. Now grass, the track continues NNE to the Trig and nearby summit, a couple of pheasant gates being the only physical barriers to success. | summitter | 27/09/2023 |
Glad I noticed the small contour ring 300metres to the west of the trig and one metre higher trig S5920 | vegibagger | 11/07/2023 |
Up from West Lodge, and excellent tracks via the Brownies Chair. Very pleasant walk, and summit area and trig have a plethora of tracks to descend back to the main track used on ascent. | Belfarm | 22/04/2023 |
From S - parking at start of track (spot height 76) - Pitlour Park. Track up - met farmer - wanted me to shut the deer gate at top of field - NO 209125. It was impossible to open! Climbed over. Tump to NNE of trig - obvious high point. | carole engel | 14/05/2021 |
From the SW, followed track gradually uphill, across a field, over a gate near the summit area. | The Fife Flyer | 21/02/2021 |
Return visit as last time I went to the trig point not realising it wasn't the actual summit. Used tracks through Pitlour Estate last time and would say that's the easier option. This time I started at the Pitmedden car park and used field edges to reach gate at NO 213 126 after which there were quad bike tracks. Met pleasant, helpful estate worker out shooting foxes. | Fife Walking | 24/12/2020 |
From the car park in Abernethy Glen, to avoid driving in Fife in contravention of Covid rules, Forest track, then cycle path along County Boundary, over 2 fences to top before going along to the trig. | NormanW | 20/12/2020 |
From forest carpark to SE as others. Walked 300m up road, through field, then field edges along ridge line. Summit is in woodland protected by a big gate. Summit only inches higher than trig. Can see both Forth and Tay from summit. | Thearlaichdubh | 25/10/2019 |
Climbed from the north as couldn't find any access from south. | Skerryvore | 22/02/2019 |
from minor road to the west. | robertphillips | 29/01/2018 |
From the forest car park, through muddy, recently ploughed fields. Trig and summit both visited | Colin Crawford | 21/12/2017 |
Generally as Minto visited 275m contour and trig. | chrisbien | 12/03/2017 |
From Pitmedden Forest car park, The Clink. Much easier than expected as cereal crop had just been harvested: N up road for 50m, through gate, followed field edge to R, uphill to triangular wood, through gateway - no gate - field of barley - but wide field margin. One 1m fence to climb, then up pasture - cows - to summit area. Climb low gate to access summit field, or keep to shorter grass on the trig point side. There are numerous convenient windows in the deer fence to get across. | Minto | 04/09/2015 |
From the forest car park, across the field to a stile (NO219127). Can see Dundee from trig point. | Play2End | 24/01/2015 |
Suggest go to Trig. first; convenient marked holes in deer fence. | richtea5040 | 20/11/2014 |
Easier than expected from carpark to ENE on road up from Auchtermuchty. Deer fences decaying rapidly. Great viewpoint for snow-capped Lomonds. | agentmancuso | 02/01/2012 |
From north. Many unpleasant fence crossings, it's easier from the south. | Topographer57 | 13/12/2009 |
