As others, from the green gate on the A92. | PGCE | 29/02/2024 |
Parking space just next to the A92 entrance barrier. Trampled as much gorse down as I could in order to ensure correct top point reached. | summitter | 29/12/2023 |
Parked at green gate at start of reservoir track off A92. | duchally | 27/03/2023 |
Up the reservoir road, around the ploughed field and over 2 bw fences. Stroll to top, into gorse. Dundee completion. | NormanW | 29/12/2021 |
Put off by signs and barricading at end of Balmossie Dr so started at end of Balmossie Rd,over couple of fences and skirted field to join track to mast. Dundee completed. | lordtonult | 13/10/2021 |

E,then Roman Hill. N,then to Gallow Hill. W,then S, then Balgay Hill and finally Dundee Law. | clashcityrocker | 03/12/2020 |
From Balmossie as others and plunge into gorse bush on summit ridge. Lovely views. With cousin Mary. | Thearlaichdubh | 12/11/2019 |
No bulls, cows or calves. Gate at top of Balmossie Gdns open so easy (apart from the summit gorse!) circuit, returning via lower well used path adjacent to ploughed field. | Tony S | 19/03/2019 |
From reservoir access road. Four roe deer in the ploughed field to the left. Fences easily negotiated, and even the gorsy summit section is very brief. | Nick Down1 | 22/02/2019 |
From Balmossie Gardens | jimbloomer | 23/10/2018 |
Saw bulls sign in Balmossie Gardens and there were cows in distance but found track lower down which took me across field edge below top and reached water board track that way. Strangely that means Dundee completion - first in Scotland. | Mark Sims | 11/07/2018 |
From A92, up track, round edge of field and over double bwf. Then short walk up pasture to gorse covered top. | Campbell Singer | 23/06/2018 |
From A92 up track along fence over double BW to gorse covered top. | PeterD | 29/05/2018 |
as for others | arranc | 23/05/2017 |
Park off A92 track to compound, around fence, then dive into gorse on quarry rim, final dundee tump. | robertphillips | 05/03/2017 |
As with others, along access track from south, then along edge of field to gap in barbed wire and up to top. Nice evening light over the Tay. | oriolefan101 | 31/07/2016 |
From sse via resr access track. Half hearted search also for trig block which should be on brink immediately n of comms mast, a few m w of highpoint | RHW | 12/12/2015 |
Wide views of the Tay estuary for such a modest hill. | neimcv | 09/10/2015 |
With Inez Murrie | clashcityrocker | 08/10/2015 |
Did nor really believe the bull warning, but nevertheless walked up the track to the reservoir: along field edge to SW corner and easy fence up to summit. There was a van at the mast, so presume could easilly have come up a track from the bull gate. | GordonAdshead | 05/08/2015 |
Parked by the green gate accessed from the eastbound carriageway of A92. Up reservoir track around fence then double barbed wire to negociate before you can explore the vegetated quarry edge summit. | Dugswell2 | 23/07/2015 |
P at green gate - up res track. Left along res fence. Horse jump through barbed wire fence. Top as Minto. | chrisbien | 18/04/2015 |
From eastbound carriageway of A92, parking space at green gate, walked up to reservoir enclosure, turned right through missing strand in barbed fence and around north perimeter of reservoir to mast. HP lies in on steep and narrow gorse bank between mast and quarry, be careful. | Topographer57 | 25/03/2015 |
I was not put off by the sign of bull and calves. Walked to the quarry and took the field route to the right. Cold and foggy, no view at the mast. | Play2End | 13/02/2015 |
A surprising first log. Probably could be climbed from Balmossie Gardens, but I was put off by the sign warming of bulls, cattle and young stock. The track leads into a quarry (farmers rubbish dump!), and might not be that convenient for the top. Started 500m E, up water board track. Top has not one but TWO compounds, both with very high and well maintained fences. Fortunately (and unusally) neither compound is situated on the summit. However, the high point is well guarded by a wobbly field fence, hawthorn tree, and gorse ! I reckoned the highest point was behind the hawthorn bush. Though the true summit may have been quarried away long ago. | Minto | 28/12/2014 |
