1st of 4 Marilyn's for the day. Parked in lay-by at Pittachope, followed Fife Coastal path to first stile, then up field to NE side of ridge, over fence and up path to summit. Continued across top and down to col, then down to meet FCP at sheep pens. Back along track to car. 1.7 miles under 50mins round trip.JulieB01/11/2021
A pleasant ascent from Glenduckie. Bit misty by the time I reached the summit. Solo.meltdiceburg19/10/2021
From Pittachope along the Fife Coast Path over a stile and a gate by sheep pens. The right beside a wall, left on an initially steep path up the east ridge to the summit, returning by a path heading NW from the summit, then swinging E to follow a wall to rejoin the outward route above the sheep pens. A panorama from the summit stretching from the Mounth to the Lomond Hills.Nick Down124/09/2021
Ascended from the N from the FCP. Great views and the hill to ourselves. A wee gem and a longer than expected return walk to Newburgh in the heat.ragudave24/07/2021
With Frances as an extra on a section of the Fife Coastal Path from Glen Duckie to Balmerino. Very wet and poor visibility but we could see the potential of this viewpoint on a better day. There was a small party working on the historical site near the summit.langskill26/05/2021

Parked in layby/Fife Coastal Path parking at NO310209 then followed Fife Coastal Path south and ascended via (broken) style at ~NO309202 descended via style at ~NO304203 and followed Fife Coastal Path back to parking with DA.Danmawr14/07/2019
Parking in lay-by 100m W of Pittachope, NO311209. 50m further W on road, then L (SW) up track, on 'Fife Coastal Path' (even though it is almost 2km from the sea), to sign saying 'keep left', but pointing R. So, went R until RH bend at about NO303204, where a stile on L, gives access to a path, which is indistinct through long grass, to a disfunctional stile, then a final zig-zag up. No view in the horizontal rain.Isbjorn24/06/2019

Second hill on a sunny but cold and windy day, with Kirsty and Robert, walking from Pittachope.barnz4812/11/2017
A nice walk up a great hill. Fife coast path car park, then along the Fife coast path, then the left fork across a field, though the gate and then right up a good, steep, grassy path. Amazing views of the Tay estuary from the top, not to mention the rest of Fife.Gill09/11/2017

Parked at A913 Ayton Smiddy. Got into conversation with Mike Robertson as I passed the Studio (see A.Dempster's book). He said he climbs the hill almost every day. I walked up and down the hill with him.ChrisR09/09/2017
Took the Walk Highlands route from Luthie https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fife-stirling/normans-law.shtml for an extended circular walk, really enjoyable.thejackrustles05/04/2017
3rd of 4 Ma today and the best, helped by sunshine. The heavy showers were to the S, view N was good, all the Firth of Tay; a chaotic scene of snow and cloud and sun NW, Ben Chonzie's slopes gleaming white. From the signboard/layby by Pitachope, up/back by the very fine E ridge, knobbly, rock, heather. I noted there are signposted ways up from Luthrie, too.pwheeler21/03/2017

Parked at Luthrie village hall at 15.30. Mike a bit tired from Ben Vorlich walk earlier but weather too good to miss. Great views from this hill, looking down the Tay to Dundee and also back to Perth. Company: Mike Stevensoniandesbottes27/08/2016
Early stroll up from the NE. Good path beside the fence on the E side of the hill.amswanston19/06/2016
From layby on road to NE (at NO311209). Approached summit from N. Descended to E. Descent was the better route (no fences to cross). Route and write-up at: http://gayleybird.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/three-and-extra-one.htmlGayle28/05/2016
Weather fair.MountainMac22/03/2016
From the Pittachope layby. The 1:25000 map shows the track leading to the east side, so we went up that way. Then there's an unmapped track off the NW side of the top, that leads over the 243m spot and a couple of stiles to the so-called coastal path above the wood.Pete R20/02/2016
From the north along the coastal path route. Broke from this just before the forest on the right. Up across field, through the gate and then over fence beneath the hill. Then a path goes around and up the hill anticlockwise. Snow and mist and dusk made it not quite so easy.jenx01/12/2015
