| From Big Morton Hill. Agree with Colin, middle/ NW contour ring seemed highest. Down to SW more easily than expected, round trees to rejoin track. | agentmancuso | 04/06/2021 |
| Roadside verge parking (NX 7478 8752). Straight up. Visited all 3 of the 350m contours, the smallest seemed to be the highest, running the largest a close second, with the most northerly one definitely lowest. Farmer met me back at car, wanted to know what I was doing on his land without asking permission! A polite but interesting conversaion ensued. | jonglew | 29/01/2021 |
| A circuit over Big Morton Hill before dropping down and adding this hill. Bright, sunny but cool conditions. | 3 kinnears | 22/11/2020 |
| Up from near shankfoot, 4 gates to the top, visited all 3 areas. | robertphillips | 25/10/2020 |
| Decent parking by hall to SE, then rough pasture (mostly) to summit area. Three contour rings to visit, my altimeter suggesting that then central one is 1m higher. The wall between the southern ring and the two northern ones is a swine, with high barbed wire strands on each side | Colin Crawford | 06/08/2020 |

| Up from Auchencheyne bridge. Rough grazing. Several ring contours and 350m spot height all seemed equal height. | cjo | 15/07/2017 |
