Deuchary Hill from Cally car park, near Dunkeldhummusg11/03/2024
Long walk in from the Cally carpark. Beaver dams and cut trees on the Mill Loch. Mizzle during walk in. but became dry and sunny on the way out so waterproofs dried out.alexmaclennan15/02/2024
On tracks from corner of road above Guay via Lochan na Beinne.Winterfloodian10/01/2024
From excellent Cally CP, via Mill Dam, Rotmell Loch, Dowally Loch, Loch Ordie and Lochan na Beinne. Descended S then good tracks straight back to start. With SHC.TRG31807/01/2024
From Guay, where I parked on the verge before the no parking signs on the approach to the sharp bend. A very pleasant walk to the cockscomb summit and trig on Deuchary Hill on good tracks, especially the green path that climbs gently to Lochan na Beinne. Then a circuit via the grass rib of the South Top and through heather and bracken, ascending steeply at one point, to an undulating heathery ridge leading to the West Top and some more heather before rejoining the grassy path.Nick Down105/02/2023
Solo. Began from the train station. Good stride in across the moorland before confronted with a steep and harsh final ascent for my unkempt hill fitness. Excellent views all round at the top. Descended to the North to add a wee loop to the return. First Marilyn of the year.RufusHodge28/01/2023
From Cally car park. Good forest roads up past Mill Dam then to Laddown Burn. A feint path runs along by the burn but a better path just over the burn goes more directly up through the trees to the summit. Lovely views from the top. Solo.Dangerous Dave04/11/2022
Good tracks from Guay, were there is parking on the sharp bend. Bitter wind on summit with snow on distant hillscjo09/04/2022

Great walk inc. Loch Ordie from Cally Car Park, good views from the top of Deuchary, but very icy in places.nicolajane07/01/2022
with Adrianmazz23/09/2021
Very pleasant walk from south - good parking NO 045447. At the hairpin bend there are TWO paths - one up the stream towards Lochan na Beinne - this does not lead to the summit. The hill path is a few meters further round the corner at NO 03666 47961 and goes in a NE direction. There are signs galore on the way up but none for the hill itself (typical). Nevertheless, it was a lovely walk and stunning view point once at the top.carole engel11/09/2021
SMMC day meet. From Cally car park, traverse of hill from SE to NW, then past Loch Ordie.clashcityrocker22/06/2021
From the Cally car park.BLACKHILL21/06/2021
Currently car parking blocked/closed at bottom/start of path in Guay due to log felling and extraction.mazz01/06/2021
headed south west from west top onto a narrow path that takes you onto the main track for a very short time before heading up the Deuchary Hill path which leaves at an angle from the track through the trees. Followed this past the trig and then on down to Loch Ordie before heading back. 12km 3.5hrsNicky C10/01/2021
Parked in Dunkeld and walked towards Cally carpark and turned right at the mill dam at the Upper Lock Ordie sign. Turn right after crossing the river bridge. Then turned left after approx 1km on to a small track which was hard to locate in the snow. Followed the deer tracks to the top. You will have missed the turn if you reach a gate which has the childrens loch in view.Bigjap66610/01/2021

From near Guay by logging roads on way to Creag nam Mialcurlebd03/08/2020
As per Gill from Guay, really pleasant walk, paths and tracks all of the way to the summit. 6 mile round trip took about 1hr 10 to the top at a leisurely pace including a number of photo stops. Could do a variety of different routes to make a longer circuit if required. Was very peaceful until a landrover experience with about 20 landrovers drove past me on the track on the way back to the car.JulieB25/07/2020

From near Guay by logging roads. Clag coming and going on top. Still day, overcast. Damp underfoot but no rain. First walk after being ill at Knoydart, en route Edinb. Rounsfell09/09/2019
A nice walk from the track starting at the road bend above and NE of Guay. Good parking a few yards along the track. The nasty logging road is mercifully short and nicer tracks wind up past crags to cross the river eventually. Shortly after the bridge, a gate leads to an old grassy track to Lochan na Beinne, sadly bulldozed badly just before the loch. A nice grassy path leads easily to the top, the last bit steep, and a tiny scramble to the rocky summit. Watch out for adders sleeping in the sun.Gill19/08/2019
From Cally Car Park and up the track to the west, before heading up the path on the north-west side passing Lochan na Beinne.Windy Corner25/07/2019
Easy, from Guay. Good parking on spur of stubby forest road at R-angle bend, NO006495. Good tracks and paths to Loch Ordie, then good path to top, via Lochan na Beinne.Isbjorn04/06/2019

Solo. From car park at NO022437 to the north of Dunkeld. After ascending Crieff Hill and Deuchary Hill West Top. I descended northwards to join the track going towards Deuchary Hill near the outfall of Lochan na Beinne. Followed the track and the continuation path to the summit of Deuchary Hill reaching the trig point and scrambling up the rib of rock which is the highest point. Decided to descend on the path and track that goes NW and then on the track S to the starting point, so avoiding the thick heather. Nice dry and sunny weather.pwbellarby20/08/2017

Deuchary Hill Race CraigW29/03/2015
A great day climbing a wee craggy gem of a Sub-2000. Climbed on a clear winters day with snow underfoot, brought ice axe but didn't need it, the going was slow without walking poles so my daylight hours where spent on this one hill and had no time for other hills I'd planned to climb that day. trig at top, but the real summit is a wee rocky wedge a short distance from the trig easy to spot and scramble upon. A good day in Dunkeld.Victorious KWS13/12/2014

Major pipe construction a bit intrusive. However turned out a pleasant surprise as the expected trudge through a pine plantation didn't happen. A delightful summit with an interesting puzzle searching for it.Martin R28/12/2011
From W. Major construction work at Dowally so went from Guay just N. Very pleasant walk ends with short steep ascent to fine summit: rocky crest with quartz band and slightly lower trig.Aye Jimmy16/11/2011

Revisit. From SE, Butterstone, no obvious parking so drove in to the Riechip turnoff and parked at the No Unauthorised Vehicles sign. Followed mapped track which passes S of summit, then steep climb. Descended S to saddle then E to Grewshill which is easier. Back via the Yeaman, Benachally. Nice circuitRHW24/07/2010

From Butterstone. On tarred road past 8 chalets past gates to a second estate and uphill on very uneven ground to stone wall and deer fence. Lost height to go through a gate and stile over fence on very spongy ground and tiring search for highest dome at 15.10.arranc10/04/2002

Climbed this hill many, many times over the years while on holiday at Countlich Bungalow. First ascent was in 1987 when I was 7 years old with parents and Grandpa and this was probably my first Marilyn. I sat on an adder on the way down!islamidget01/07/1988
