| 6th/7 tumps in Loch Ard Forest from Aberfoyle. From track to SSE. | Topographer57 | 06/02/2024 |
| Garbeg Hill and Kirkton Hill from Aberfoyle carpark, tracks / paths most of the way. | Tisteln | 29/12/2023 |
| After Doon Hill by bike. Forest road blocked by fallen trees near the turning circle, but easy to pass on foot. Up the gap and then into the summit thicket which was burnt and after the fire the self seeded Sitka ran riot. Most welcoming anthill there is. Descent as usual was easy. On to Kirkton | fasgadh | 13/05/2023 |
| Coming off Arndrum got lost in Drumore Wood and then further tree bashing to top. HP is now the ant hill. | lordtonult | 20/06/2022 |
| Hill 2 of an anti-clockwise round of 7 Tumps from Aberfoyle car park. Thought about using a bike, but decided it would be more of a hinderance. From Kirkton Hill, S along fence to slightly overgrown track which ends by a pile of pipes and rotten picnic benches. Along tracks, then up the overgrown mapped ride which peters out. Cairn and ant hill still there. | Minto | 24/03/2022 |
| Aberfoyle car park, Kirkton first, then forest road to 501998. Forest gap created up from this turning circle, to close to the top. Photo attached is a cairn on a rock, about 0.1k from the proper gps readings. So, not quite the correct photo, but you can guess what the rest is like! No views. Freezing but no ice, sunny, wind but sheltered by trees. | iangalbraith | 10/02/2021 |
| From parking area at start of Doon Hill walk to track end SE of summit. The final hundred yards is fiercely defended by close packed firs. Reached anthill cairn on all fours. Forest tracks to S of Kirkton hill, passing a forlorn set of picnic tables and some squashed metal pipes. Through a bluebell glade to the summit. Just beyond two mossy rock ribs, a large boulder beneath a pine seems highest. I used the head above summer rule to avoid damaging the small tree growing on it. The direct route back E involves confronting an awkward drainage ditch and another belt of close growing trees, so it is probably better to return on forest tracks. | Nick Down1 | 08/05/2020 |
| No view. Difficult approach through trees. Cairn (small) next to ant hill (large). With Brian R. | Play2End | 16/02/2019 |
