| Parked at Luthrie Village Hall,took the road, then track then path to just before a plantation south of whirly kips, double fence to cross and cattle in summit field. Returned swiftly to path, back to an obvious gate in in a new plantation, easy to top of field then you have to cross the deer fence. Where the OS say the summit of prospect hill is a clear track and looks right. I didnt recross the deer fence and just returned down the side of wallace wood. rougher terrain though. Nice walk with a few challenges. | hils | 08/01/2024 |

| After Whirly Kips using the bashed up bit of fence west of col. Pleasant ascent on paths once in younger wood | fasgadh | 03/05/2023 |

| Along track from east. Just west of the whirly kips col, there's a bit of windfell from the forestry which has taken out the barbed wire. Cross into the forest there heading for the lighter, greener area straight ahead, which is a path most of the way to the top. Follow the red arrows! On the way down either go the same way or follow the green arrows to just at the corner where that path bends parallel to the fence and recross there, but not you have to climb that bit! | Belfarm | 24/04/2022 |
| With Whirly Kips. Parked at Luthrie village hall. | duchally | 25/02/2022 |
| From Whirly Kips. Descended to Luthrie path, then left this and picked up shooting tracks to summit. Strava Heatmap very handy for planning route through trees. | quadbarrel | 03/04/2021 |
| From Luthrie with Brian. Shed on summit. | Play2End | 07/03/2021 |
| From Luthrie having done 7 others in north Fife, also did Whirly Kips & Emily Hill next. | The Fife Flyer | 27/02/2021 |
| From Luthrie, crossed barb wire at 311 190 where one strand is broken. East through woods to pick up Thearlaichdubh's track to summit. | Fife Walking | 24/01/2021 |
| After Whirly Kips. If you enter the wood at its NE corner and follow the fence for 30m, you get on a ride/path which takes you to the high point and avoids vegaggeddon.You can then blunder around in the wood and hope that your feet have touched the high point which might be in the clearing at the NE edge. | Thearlaichdubh | 26/12/2019 |
| 2 tump round prospect hill visited all tops field, knoll, track, and in trees,and whirly kips from the south, parking bend on track to balmeadowside. | robertphillips | 20/01/2018 |
| After Emily Hill, unpleasant approach through trees and scrub. Top either in break or somewhere within the trees | Colin Crawford | 26/12/2017 |
| Parked in Luthrie. Stumbled about in the conifers with deep vegetation and my GPS read 192m. Not sure of the highest point but I claim to have bagged it ! | NormanW | 12/08/2017 |
| Tried parking at Xroads told to P off by gamekeeper. P in village. First to WK. The fence is damaged by fence going N. Onwards to PH as per Minto. The top is on track or bump further E and S. Top in field is lower. | chrisbien | 14/02/2016 |
| From Whirly Kips through the new plantation. Top easy to miss in the plantation. Disappointing. | Play2End | 01/01/2016 |
| From Luthrie, via Emily Hill and Whirly Kips. Prospect Hill has some AWFUL vegetation; thistles head-high nettles, rasp canes, brambles, unmapped trees etc. Go in winter or early spring. And/or find a better route than I did from the RoW col to the NW. Not sure why this is listed as 188m, there's a 190m contour ring 200m E of the spot height. | Minto | 25/10/2014 |
| I walked along the A913 and then up the path from the south. | Pete R | 06/03/2014 |
