Circuit of Corwharn and nearby tops from parking by reservoir at NO260598. Creigh Hill South Top, then Creigh Hill. Continued to N, descending to beallach W of Craig of Balloch. Climbed Milldewan Hill and then along easy undulating ridge to Corwharn. Continued to Eskielawn and Bruntshields, Black Binks and a short steep ascent to Cuilt Hill. Descended to track and road back to start. Mist and rain for much of route.RobertP17/03/2023
From Blackwater Reservoir parking at NO260598 via ATV track from gate S of parking to summit of Macritch Hill near a distinctive quartzite boulder, then along the fences to Creigh Hill and South Top. My easy descent through heather and long grass to the reservoir was halted by a BWF, which induced me to plough through tall, wet and vexatious veg on the inside of the fence back to the ATV track.Nick Down124/09/2022

Who can resist a circular walk over 3 Marilyns? Parked at the end of Westerton track, up the road to Balintore castle track, then grassy track straight uphill past the quarry, becoming a path, then joined main track up Cat Law. Followed the fence down, then track to Cormaud. Track fades so traversed down to col, and track to Corwharn. Good enough tracks to Milldewan Hill; followed fence (track) then grassy sheep tracks down to col. Up deer tracks and vague tracks to Creigh Hill. On to Cairn Plew and down to Middle Coul, and road back.Gill13/04/2019
From car park to Little Ley, Mildewan Hill, Creigh Hill & its south top. Pretty good vehicle and animal tracks for most of the way, interspersed with stretches of heather bashing. 2.45hr round-trip.summitter29/12/2018
