From roadside verge parking (NT 2882 3921), straight up through trees to Castle Hill, then followed wall up to here. | jonglew | 27/01/2024 |
Followed marked forestry tracks from the car park to near Katies Hass. Using the old wall as a handrail, followed it up on to the summit. Carried on over to take in Castle Hill, which has a much better view. | BigJ | 29/09/2022 |

From the bulge near the end of the track I headed up slightly awkward semi felled hillside only to find at the top that there was a marked trail that I followed down that came out just 100metres further on | vegibagger | 09/07/2019 |
No hut in sight. Spot height by path to SE by about 100m can't be much lower. 
Walk around Glentress Forest, starting from layby on A72 just E of Peebles. Black Knowe (359m), Shiledgreen Kipps, Dunslair Heights, then onto open ridge heading SE (camping overnight) and continuing to Clog Knowe, Black Knowe (522m)steep descent W by forest and on to Kirn Law and Castle Hill, descent to Glentress and final section by road. | RobertP | 10/09/2017 |
Avoided the expensive car park in Glentress by parking on the A72 at NT288391. Then up through the forest using tracks and cycle routes. Obvious top of Kirn Law at wall corner but no hut in sight (?) On to Castle Hill and direct descent to A72 | Colin Crawford | 25/11/2016 |
