| Parked at mast. Walked down road to gate at approx 230999. | duchally | 21/02/2023 |
| Visited Blythes tower on the way. Lots of young bullocks in the fields to avoid. Feels like Yorkshire. | Adrian | 16/08/2022 |
| As others parked by the mast to the east of the hill. | Andrew Simmons | 30/06/2022 |
| Parked NO 2299 9997 - just off busy road. Gates NO 227997, 225998, 224999, 222998 - easy | carole engel | 09/05/2021 |
| From road to east around fields. Plenty of fences but also plenty of gates. Return route to Blyth's Tower and down to Kinglassie not so straightforward as no appropriate gates so had to negotiate an electric fence. Moat was frozen over today. | Fife Walking | 09/01/2021 |
| From Westfield access point on county boundary to W. Approached via waterlogged track on N side of man-made loch and over pastures from Kinninmonth Farm Cottages. Trig moat partially frozen. | Lindsay M | 01/01/2021 |
| With L, R & D | Janet M | 01/01/2021 |
| Parking spot for 1 right beside mast, then through fields with heifers practicing stampedes and a few gates to the trig. As the trig has a significant moat I assumed the highpoint was a few metres away.There isn't much point in getting right up to the monument. | Thearlaichdubh | 26/10/2019 |
| From the east, starting at corner west of mast. Across the fields to the trig point, several gates and one barbed wall fortunately not too high. Touched trig summit with pole but kept my feet outside the moat and walked on a few metres to the most likely HP. | Topographer57 | 26/11/2017 |
| Long field stroll from tight parking by the mast | Colin Crawford | 09/11/2017 |
| parked on verge north of mast at a gate, up though fields and gates to the top, 2 small bumps east of the trig look as high. | robertphillips | 18/03/2017 |
| P at bend W of mast. Series of gates to the top (direct). | chrisbien | 07/05/2016 |
| Parked at mast (again!). No tractors in sight, and no sheep in sight either. Don't bother going via the reservoir, it's much rougher than the fields. Broad clockwise sweep to summit via Blyth's Tower. Most of the walls have gates if you walk far enough. Trig point surrounded by its moat, but a courageous leap gained access. It's not the highest point anyway! Direct return more or less due E to gate at bend in road. | Minto | 19/04/2016 |
| Parked at mast, Was about set off with dog, when noticed tractor in 2nd away field - feeding sheep. And another tractor in field just before trig was ploughing. So decided to leave it for another day. NOT TICKED | Minto | 15/02/2015 |
| Parked at the mast. You can get to the trig via 6 gates. After heavy rain the trig point was completely surround by water! Was not put off. | Play2End | 03/01/2015 |
| Parked at mast to East. Pleasant stroll over pasture, back via Tower. Lots of walls, but there are gates too. Cattle nearby. Yeaman summit a few strides NNW. Cut benchmark on E face of tower too. | agentmancuso | 14/05/2011 |
| pasture, OK view, summit just W of and slightly above trig. | RHW | 25/03/2005 |
