Parking on grass verge just E of road high point (NO197265). Gate and ATV tk. Best line is along side of E BWF, to meet double BWF with rickety plank stiles, then heather and rough grass to top | Isbjorn | 25/09/2023 |
From the road summit to the E - via small double stile. | summitsup | 23/04/2023 |
From Scone Old Church, up Den of Scone to McDuff's Monument & along to Murray shall Hill. NE descent, unpathed but OK to Easthill. Mainly tracks over Law Hill and on awkward core paths to Pole Hill - finding start near Shien Hill was worst & involved leaving good track at gate before track high point. Core path was an ankle turner. Last core path SE to Pole Hill was OK but fence to climb on awkward stile. Returned due W initially pathless but soon hit farm track. Didn't turn S to Goddens but continued NW through fueld, gates & gated forestry. Past ruin to same awkward gate on core path. Return by core paths mainly W through Wester Bonhard, Spoutwells & around Scone Wood. | Lynnebe | 01/03/2023 |
As others from the high point of the road. Great viewpoint, even on a less than perfect day. | hillsman | 25/11/2022 |
From the adjacent road high point and over the wobbly double stiles. Nice view of the Tay. | Nick Down1 | 16/09/2022 |
Short walk over grassy field from high point to NE on road, double stiles then heathland to top. | N.Morters | 20/06/2021 |
Gate SE of pt 249 to NE of Hill. Through gate, cross field, at top L is a double stile across the 2 BWFs. Follow faint tread to summit. | Belfarm | 24/07/2020 |
Short walk from high point of the road at NE aspect of hill. | willyross | 05/07/2020 |
Along core path from Murrayshall which starts off well, so long as you like cows, then vanishes into the gorse. Lots of barbed wire. | daviemore | 21/06/2020 |
Local walk whilst visiting relatives: From Scone P&R walked via A94 and local roads with ascent from NE. Returned along ridge and paths aroud Murrayshall. Remarkably expansive views for such an insignificant looking hill. Everything from Vorlich, Chonzie, Schiehallion, Beinn a'Ghlo, Glenshee, Tay and Dundee, Fife Lomonds. | benalder284 | 31/05/2020 |
ring cairn and hill fort | TamCollie | 07/12/2019 |
Parked near the high point of the minor road NNE of the hill. Through a gate and along a vehicle track, crossing some boggy ground. Two small stiles cross barbed wire fences straight ahead at the top of the field. Good views of the Tay estuary and Dundee. | LizH | 17/11/2019 |
From the minor road to the east. 360 views. 5 out of 5. | Play2End | 02/07/2019 |
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
Parked at gate for a short stroll to the pillar which is visible from the road. Even has styles to assist you crossing the fences. Grabbed the geocache as well. | thejackrustles | 30/06/2019 |
From the road junction to the west. Missed a path and almost reached Arnbathie. Then south to the edge of the crags, west until a path down appeared. At the base, west again to where the Goddens track crosses the burn. | Pete R | 09/02/2019 |
Very easy up from high point on road. With B and R. | jenx | 11/11/2018 |
Easy parking at roadside to NE w Jenx and Bryher | nordicstar | 11/11/2018 |
From road to Shanty. Misty, but occasional partial weather windows through which views were good. | ger | 04/09/2017 |
From gate on Kilspjndie Road, over stiles to Trig summit. Smashing views. | summitter | 20/08/2017 |
Via Shien Hill. | Chris Peart | 23/05/2017 |
Solo trip. Surrounded by dog-proof fences (unless you can lift your dog over the baebed wire). | Invicta14 | 03/05/2017 |
From good space for parking by gate at road summit above Evelick (GR: 197265). I followed the fence, accessed through the gate and along a track shown on the map, that runs roughly SE then turns SW, finding a plank across a very boggy dip and stiles over the barbed wire fence. With a trod through the heather and fine views over the Firth of Tay, this was a nice way to spend half an hour, albeit on an unassuming hill | pwheeler | 25/03/2017 |
Parked at 197265. Stiles over BW fences at 19606 26281. | NormanW | 18/03/2017 |
Cool sunny breezy day, unexpectedly met Smudge and joined him for ascent. En route to Shetland in new car. | Denise | 17/04/2016 |
Perth Airport to Scone. Chance meeting with Richard & Denise Mclellan before starting along track from NO166261 which turned out to lack continuity (fence climbing required) after Shien Hill. | Smudge | 17/04/2016 |
Approach by wet and indistinct farm tracks from the W then grassy field to summit topped by trig point on grassy mound / tumulus? Unexpected company of Smudge having met him setting off from the road. | RichardM | 17/04/2016 |
From high point on minor road to the east. | robertphillips | 15/11/2015 |
Gate,stile then trig on sunny afternoon. | Dugswell2 | 29/07/2015 |
Cracking day for a pair of HuMPs and a few wee ones too. | Alex C | 11/04/2015 |

From near high point of road to E. Gate into field. Aim for top left hand corner - small stile over fence. Summit "fence" marked on OS 1:25K map looks like an old ditch around the summmit - which looks man-made too. | Minto | 19/11/2011 |
Short ascent from the road. There is a stile on the top left hand side of the field that gets you on to the moor. Great views, as usual for the Sidlaws. | fasgadh | 25/07/2010 |
Lots of cars parked on the road - remote control plane outing. | chrisbien | 01/05/2010 |
Climbed on way to Linlithgow from mum and dad's. Parked on road to Kilspindie and walked short distance to trigged summit. | Skerryvore | 13/10/2008 |
