| Gate closed but not locked, drove up to NX 3560 7678 on good forest road. Awkward vegetation from there, 8ft high bracken and briar. No cairn seen at the summit. Ruin seems a good metre or more lower. | jonglew | 01/08/2021 |
| Biked in on track from the north near glentrool village,through the young trees to the top, visited 3 or 4 highpoints. | robertphillips | 20/04/2021 |
| 1st of 5 tops on a 15/16 mile route from the bus stop before the House o' Hill hotel to Auchenlick Bridge, 1st jumping over a stream then through a layer of bracken & brambles before walking through the brash of the harvested forest to reach the top at the corner of a former dwelling recording 130m. I carried onto explore the ridge recording 129/130 at one place. Following was a tricky route through wild terrain to the Old Bridge of Minnoch, heading for Craigmurchie.. | Dazingdale | 25/08/2018 |
| From A714 SW of hill. Track S then N. lady on horse said there was a planter's track. This is almost due S of top - not really a track but grass and foxgloves. | chrisbien | 03/07/2018 |
