A round of 4 Simms and 1 Dodd from Rottal in very gloomy weather with Minto. Including Ruragh after White Hill meant much plodding through evil peat hags. Finished with Manywee and Tops of Fichel. | NormanW | 12/11/2022 |

From White Hill, crossed the double electric fence by the stile near White Hill summit and followed a track by the fence. Crossed back over the fence at the next stile after a few hundred metres! Over heather and grass to join the estate track onto Meg Swerie and round to the summit. White hares were easy to spot with no snow on the ground. On to Manywee. | LizH | 14/01/2022 |

From Rottal estate parking NO367705, along rough track at woodland edge to gate in deer fence, then across wet moorland (no tracks) to cross Burn of Heughs near NO376706, reaching track heading NE towards White Hill which became very indistinct, until joining a new 4WD road that runs on W side of Burn of Heughs to the hut at NO376715 then on to very near the top of White Hill (visible from the parking when hill is not in cloud), followed this, diverting to the summit, continued S on old ATV tracks along E side of a double electric fence to a burn crossing near the col, crossed back to W side of fence and onto another ATV track along grouse butts up Meg Swerie, turning SW along old fence line to summit of Finbracks, and onto summit of Manywee, then NW down old ATV tracks to crossing Kennel Burn continuing on tracks to W side of Burn of Heughs, then back across the wet moor to the woodland edge and the estate parking | kdbennett | 15/08/2021 |

The ridge south to north from Manywee via Finbracks,WEjhite Hill, Carn Trench, Black Shank, Ben Tirran and Green Hill. Nit of a plod really, might have been better on a clearer day. | dickscroop | 21/09/2016 |

A circular walk from the head of Glen Moy with Stonehaven Mountaineering & Hillwalking club. A steep ascent to the summit of Craigthran. Plenty confusion with paths on the ground but not on the maps & we had the most recent os map. Some drizzle but nothing too bad, however lots of rain thunder claps & a lightning flash all around us. Spotted some mountain hares part way thru changing to their summer coat The extent of our views today Ben Lawers range & Schiehallion to the Montrose Basin | LizzieG | 22/05/2016 |

Glen Moy approach via Monywee. Beware electric fence along ridge, both 2k summits are on the Rottal side and there are few crossing places. There is a crossing place just north of the summit. | fasgadh | 09/10/2011 |
