Parked on verge near crossroads. Up track to Raithhill farm, veering left on track. Followed edge round above pit, then South onto pasture, past solo tree and to Trig and Top. Good views to Arran. With the F.C.The Captain03/11/2019

5th hill of 11 today on a car tour from Ayr starting with a re-visit to Craigie Hill then Sornhill, Mauchline hill and Torbeg. I parked up on the grass verge beside a junction leading to a solitary property. I followed the lane, used field edges then climbed one gate to walk up through pasture towards the summit via another gate then about 20 metres to knoll and trig. Cows were sunbathing on top but they were pretty chilled. Walked to solitary beech tree and land was lower in between so agree that knoll is the highest point. Returned from summit enclosure via a different gate but then used same outward route to return to the car for lunch before proceeding to Craigs of Kyle.Dazingdale07/05/2017
