4th and last hill of the day having already climbed Lighthouse hill on Wee Cumbrae and Farland and Barbay hill on Great Cumbrae catching the ferry back to Largs and after drink and food at the Wetherspoon's I decided to climb this one. I Followed the Ayrshire coastal path past Brisbane 
drains But then instead of looping around I headed straight up next to an atmospheric hedge of mature beech trees. Obvious ring fort characteristics.
