Very easy ascent from the car park between the two Caterthuns. | Minto | 04/03/2023 |
A good walk to a fine hill fort on an easy path. The occupants were either less well-off or less ostentatious than the neighbours on White Caterthun, though building this fort was still a jolly good effort. | Gill | 15/08/2022 |
Straight after the white one | Hirta | 28/05/2022 |
Very easy ascent from road between the Caterthuns. First bagging the higher and more interesting White Caterthun and then ascending Brown Caterthun. A few people about. A massive 110m ascent for both. All the high hills nearby were in cloud. Afterwards drove to and bagged Hill of Garvock. | DanTrig | 17/09/2021 |
Stopped off after doing some other hills, not much to see on this one, the white one is way more interesting. | hils | 07/08/2021 |

With Evan and Heather. After White Caterthun. From Caterthuns car park up well-worn footpath to top and back down to car park. Warm and sunny, but hazy. | mainnirnamfiadh | 26/06/2018 |
From the car park on the road that passes over the pass between White Caterthun and Brown Caterthun. First on easy path to White Caterthun where I walked round the inner ring over the highest point. Then to Brown Caterthun – rather a muddy path on the lower part. A pleasant Winter afternoon. Been up Brown Caterthun once before – date not recorded. | pwbellarby | 25/01/2018 |
A poor relation to its neighbour - distinctly underwhelming | Colin Crawford | 04/11/2017 |
Well named - A rather brown muddy track to the top. | summitter | 23/09/2017 |
From Caterthuns CP. A circuit of the inner ring of White Cat, then an enjoyable out and back to the summit of Brown Cat, a few yards S of the track. | Nick Down1 | 10/06/2016 |
