Used tractor tracks to summit. | curlebd | 05/11/2023 |
From Blaik Law, up and down some hills until a large cowpond. Then up and around a field to the road. Crossed into the wheat field and followed a tram track to the summit. | JAdair97 | 23/07/2022 |
Highside Hill and Black Loch Hill from the road corner to the NE. Verge parking 20m before corner. Neither might be accessible if crops are growing. Keep right of direct line between the two for easier descent avoiding gorse. Summit field ploughed. | Minto | 16/01/2022 |
Across from Highside dropping down into the valley and up to the high point | Andrew Simmons | 18/09/2021 |
highside hill and black loch hill from the NE parked on the grass verge at 6713774593. | robertphillips | 16/02/2019 |
Straight across from Highside. Interesting steep sided valley to cross, then up using tractor tracks, then into the brassica field to obvious summit. | Thearlaichdubh | 15/01/2019 |
Round of Highside and Black Loch from Halls. | Topographer57 | 19/12/2018 |
After Highside. Freshly ploughed field. Back ene via field edges avoiding brassica field, track back to road in steady light rain. | RHW | 28/01/2017 |
Ran up from farm path that runs along fence line to South. Using OS map and track on it is misleading (does not follow side of wooded area as suggested), so is worth getting off path a little early via gate and following bearing up to nondescript summit. | IainHillHunter | 06/01/2017 |
Approached from Highside Hill. Summit obvious, whole field planted with a crop so I had to tread gingerly. No sign of the path on descent north east but no problems in staying on its line. A steep drop through the woods gave me a clear track back to the road | Colin Crawford | 20/02/2016 |
Track from NE to HH. Down to How Burn. Up track then into top field of BLH. Along track to wood then down to try to find the path on map. Found a style but no path - horrendous - eventually a track back to the road. Very hot. | chrisbien | 12/07/2014 |
