Round of hills from centre of Dollar by Dollar Burn. Walked up road on E side of Dollar Burn then track above Burn of Care. Then picked route through felled forestry up SW ridge of Hillfoot Hill.

Descended E to beallach, then climbed outlier Elistoun Hill before returning to beallach and climbing King's Seat Hill. Descent ESE along ridge and then interesting path by Dollar Burn.
