Round of 4 hills from Scottish Antiques Centre. Up road to access Rossie Estate at W lodge. Tracks SE then NE to open wooded summit. NW off path descent to track N to ponds, then W and out near Kirkton Farm. S on road then Millennium Glebe Walk over Kirkton Hill. Road past tower then S towards Pitkindle but 1st gate on R to head W over Forehill. Down grass track to The Ford and S past Whitehills to Abernyte. Up Tinkletop SW then S from track near Milton and down same way. 15km in mist and rain. Pretty boggy too but fun. | Lynnebe | 03/01/2024 |
From North Pitkindle. Just to the east of the track is a path that goes right up to the summit. A small cairn marks the summit. | Adrian | 15/06/2022 |
The route up from the gate is delightful - even several benches to admire the view. | Tony S | 18/03/2021 |
Parked at church. Up road then track past Kirkton then good paths through the forest to the summit. Even a wee cairn! On to Rossie Hill. | daviemore | 04/03/2021 |
Parked at church. Along road to gate at 26484/31174 & up path. Left it just after 1st corner onto a fainter path. Is a stile at 26372/31381. | duchally | 13/03/2020 |
Kirk C.P. then up the signposted route. Steep in places. 5 out of 5. | Play2End | 06/03/2020 |

From NW, per alda and others. Summit is among mature pines, some of them fallen. No cloud or wind. | Topographer57 | 08/01/2018 |
Did a Rossie/Kirkton Hill circular combo from the church car park following estate tracks/paths. | summitter | 01/12/2017 |
Same route as Alda | Colin Crawford | 26/10/2017 |
Parked at church. Richtea's path (Millenium path) is now well overgrown, so descended through fields back to car. | NormanW | 09/08/2017 |
As alda. When you have to cross the fence in the field, go into the wood instead, saves crossing two fences. Wind-blown trees at summit almost make a tepee. | Minto | 14/07/2017 |

With alda. 7 of 32. | Lindsay M | 30/05/2015 |
Track from North Pitkindle provided a good route to easy grassy slopes, with a surprising but handy semi-stile over the fence into the trees not far from the top. 7 of 32. | alda | 30/05/2015 |
A wee gem. Try the path from NO 26488 31167. Top in the vicinity of NO 26091 31844. Parking available at the church (also good for Rossie Hill). | richtea5040 | 04/02/2015 |
