Parked roadside verge Drumalbin (NS 9041 3819). Whitecastle Hill and Black Hill first. Then dropped down NE to intersect end of Stonehill Road (NS 9035 3697), after which SW on track to first field boundary heading NW. Followed the wall, first through deciduous woodland then conifers, all well spaced and easy walking, to summit... and return to the car for a 7.5km round. | jonglew | 18/01/2024 |
From forest track just off A70. Combined with a round of Black Hull and Whitecastle Hill | DaveGraham | 12/01/2024 |
Lovely woodland walking to top. Also gorged on wild rasps as sclater did. | lordtonult | 29/07/2023 |

Just about space to park at end of track. Beware - forestry operations are ongoing with large lorries using the track. | Minto | 21/03/2022 |
Remnants of an old cairn on the summit ride near a large water filled hole.Highpoint would seem to be one of the subsequently planted tree bases nearby. | ARM | 13/03/2022 |
A walk from my house! No nearby parking and only possible to summit in thick forestry. | DrumalbinView | 25/03/2021 |
Drove up track from N for a fair bit (is that cheating?) then up through a clearing. Stuffed my pus wi wild raspberries back at the car. | sclater | 01/08/2020 |

From the forestry track to the north. Room to park a couple of cars. Several ways up through the trees - a GPS will help find the top. | summitter | 13/12/2018 |
Park end of track to N. Follow track until you find the NS ride. After 500m there is an ancient Irn Bru can which marks the ride which takes you to summit area just N of big clearing. Trees easy to walk through. Half of N side felled and replanted | Thearlaichdubh | 11/09/2018 |

P at track entry to N. R at junt then into easy firebreak at NS 89561 37497. Followed this all the way to the clearing then approached from SW, but easy enough to head straight up at NS 89663 37071. | agentmancuso | 02/12/2017 |
Parked to north at start of forest track on B-road. Then used track and forest rides to get to clearing then into forest to gain flattish top. | Dugswell2 | 27/12/2015 |
