Very easy ascent from the car park between the two Caterthuns.Minto04/03/2023
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.Gill15/08/2022
Straight after the white oneHirta28/05/2022
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.DanTrig17/09/2021

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.mainnirnamfiadh26/06/2018
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.pwbellarby25/01/2018
A poor relation to its neighbour - distinctly underwhelmingColin Crawford04/11/2017
