Soaking wet day. Most interesting part of this walk was the East District Cross Country Relays. Very muddy on the multitude of paths. | Lynnebe | 07/10/2023 |
A repeat visit to the summit,trig and UFO site, from the car park behind Deans Community High. | Hirta | 12/08/2023 |
Parked at Eastwood Park, gentle stroll up. No UFOs to be seen. Maybe they only appear on Friday evenings? | colazione | 25/06/2023 |
Good parking at end of Eastwood Park road (NT 0329 6940), and multiple tracks to the top. | jonglew | 08/02/2023 |
Foolishly assumed could drive up to reservoir so parked at Club House and walked. Fine wee hill and viewpoint. | lordtonult | 27/09/2022 |
Busy park. | Adrian | 25/08/2022 |
From car park close to the school Path all the way | Andrew Simmons | 20/07/2022 |
Parked in the housing estate, up the stairs and then followed the path to the summit. Back down the same way. | JAdair97 | 04/06/2022 |
parked on someone's front, and walked up the gated path. I was expecting the reservoir to enclise the trig, was very pleased that it didn't. stunning views on a clear day. 15 mins and less than 700m | Nicky C | 16/01/2022 |
CP at end of track to E of school. Took the UFO Way for a bit then headed off to the NE to a fine summit. | sclater | 13/01/2022 |
From the housing estate to the NE,near golf course clubhouse. Good views from grassy top. | willyross | 05/05/2021 |
If you are in a hurry, and on the North side of the M8, park in the Dean's industrial estate (near Walkers at the SE corner. Cross the bridge, take the second left at the back of the houses. Walk to the junction of paths and follow the Dechmont Law sign. Easy from there. If you are not in a rush, the other parking also OK, but that northern route is handier for some. If you have time, visit Deer Hill and drop off the back to the UFO spot. You never know who you might meet.... | Belfarm | 15/11/2020 |

2nd time. | russell61 | 24/07/2018 |
The ever present glorious three 'sails' of the new Queensferry Bridge glisten white in the sunshine. A good place to lie by the trig, watch the constant steam of planes arriving to land in Edinburgh and then listen to the Archers | vegibagger | 01/07/2018 |
Parked in car park at end of Eastwood Park. Followed madeup path then over grass and final short (very short) climb to top. A rather chilly day meant paths were rather icy and a cold wind on top. Rather good views from the top. | Jubilado | 25/11/2017 |
Excellent little hill | hillsman | 12/11/2017 |
Lovely 40 minute return walk from Livingston North Station. Up the path to the E of the school. Not muddy nor boggy and excellent viewpoint. You can get off the train to Glasgow and continue your journey 45 minutes later. You can see the trig from just beyond the station. | Thearlaichdubh | 30/10/2017 |
Parked in the car park to the SW passed the school then paths to summit with good views on this damp and grey Saturday morning. | Dugswell2 | 16/09/2017 |
parked at houses south east of the top. | robertphillips | 08/02/2017 |

Too many dogs, too much litter, good viewpoint | alda | 25/06/2016 |
Easy path up from the school car park. Found a pound coin! Excellent view. | Play2End | 10/02/2016 |
A country park: I arrived via the free car park at the end of Eastwood Park, that's the road behind Deans High School. | Pete R | 08/05/2015 |
