From Rhindbuckie along main track following it round to south end of CoA then up path that runs alongside drystone dyke to the summit area. Returned same way and out main track to West Mulloch Farm and back around main road to Cairnhill where I had parked car. No parking at West Mulloch, lots of signs up saying private, no trespassing etc , cctv cameras, yard roped off so clearly not welcome to park there!!Jossker19/08/2023

May as well bag a 2nd wee hill. Out trig bagging on Rhindbuckie hill, just followed the wall to this summit. Spotted some deer in the woods, think it was their paths I was following most of the dayLizzieG20/06/2021
Up and down from the door through the woods behind the house with L and Stanley the dog.Chris Pearson04/04/2020
2 hr afternoon walk and repeat ascent with L and the dog from the door on Day 3 of Lockdown. Nice little path to top following wall.Lovely peaceful interlude away from the Coronavirus news. Was up at 5am to finally get Asda's overwhelmed online shopping page to connect -and a small miracle finding a slot for tomorrow to order home delivery for dad and in 2 weeks.Chris Pearson26/03/2020
Popped round to Chris Pearson's housesit at Pilmuir to chat about Aberdeenshire seastacks then bagged this and Rhindbuckie.Dave McG29/09/2019
With L on a beautiful sunny morning. Walking boots kept the wet grass at bay. A 2 hour explore off the beaten track directly up from our housesit to the south initially through lovely grassy open woodland of rowan and silver birch then into the conifers for a straightforward ascent alongside an old mossy wall that crosses close to the summit. Back down the same way as far as the contouring forest track to head east to include the trig Tump of Rhindbuckie -reached up a forest ride of typical slippery tangled brashings -and ducking under branches- ideal to keep my bad back moving! Up was easy - descent was when the muscle spasms kicked in - glad not to be alone just in case I seized up for good!Chris Pearson17/08/2019
