High point can be bagged outwith the castle, but seemed churlish not to enter, and as free with English Heritage m'ship it seemed doubly churlish not to... and with a guided tour from a lovely Scottish lady thrown in, what could be better!jonglew16/03/2024
As HES members my wife and I took guided castle tour. Still can't persuade her to embrace tumping.lordtonult08/08/2022

2nd hill of 4 today after Wardlaw Hill. I parked in Dundonald and after cappuccino and cake i visited the bump in front of the castle before climbing up to the top floor. Lovely views of the wooded escarpment. I walked around the castle and returned to car, heading for Craigie hill.Dazingdale06/05/2017
