Anti clockwise round of Glen Moy skyline from Glen Moy farm | daviemore | 16/10/2022 |
St Arnolds's Seat, Naked Tam and Craig Hill from Redheugh along endless Angus Autobahns built for Avian Annihilating Aristocrat Assholes. The propaganda board near the beginning of the walk made me laugh/cry/sigh ... confusing emotions. The return via Keillor Wood gave at least some visual relief to the depressing landscape. | summitter | 02/10/2022 |
Parked by beech hedge in front of cottage at Redheugh. Estate tracks, beware several down and ups to screened parking space near summit. S on tracks and moor to St Arnold's Seat, and the huge cairn SE. | Minto | 28/02/2022 |
From Redheugh on estate tracks to within 150m of summit. Returned over St Arnold's Seat and Conlawer Hill. | NormanW | 28/02/2022 |
Parked just beyond the Hillside track and bridge at NO4023 6457, where there's space for a few cars. Took the track towards Hillside, bypassed the loop and then followed the track all the way to within 250m of the summit. Across short heather to the summit. | LizH | 17/11/2021 |
Self and dog from Glenmoy road end. Lovely day, heather in full bloom. Fences on Auld Darkney - Naked Tam ridge have been removed but a few posts remain, also some nasty coils/sharp ends of wire (take care if you have a dog). Saw an adder but no grouse. | Invicta14 | 08/08/2020 |
Solo. From parking area near end of public road in Glen Moy. I walked up track past Hillside (cottage) and then track to east of Donald’s Hill. Followed animal tracks to summit of Donald’s Hill. Rejoined track and went N to cairn where a crossing place is provided across an electric fence. Up to the summit of Craig Hill, which can be located by reference to an old fence post. Went S and soon joined a gravel track back to the road. This is a much easier route than the one I took on the ascent. A few drops of rain. | pwbellarby | 19/07/2020 |

Round of Auld Darkney and Pinderachy from Redheugh | Topographer57 | 08/11/2017 |
Best feature of this hill was the descent through Keillor Wood. | JohnW | 01/08/2017 |
Good track some of the way from Naked Tam but GPS useful for locating summit in thick mist. Tiny cairn next to fence post. | alda | 25/01/2015 |
From SE, Redheugh, parked just before end of road, circuit incl Naked Tam and the SubHuMP, mostly on good unpaved roads. | RHW | 28/10/2012 |
