Water tank and trig point at top | Basingstone | 14/10/2021 |
Parked SW in tiny space and set off directly through the woods with all the fallen trees, not horrific but could have used a nice path through the properly logged section from the West, used this on the return | PDuncan82 | 13/05/2021 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 28/02/2021 |
Through barbed wire and up track from SE. | sclater | 21/11/2020 |
Short walk from the road. | Missphoton | 21/11/2020 |
Nice walk up from road bend at NO 890986. Currently very difficult to access this point on the road due to the new A90 route - many roads mapped as crossing the dual carriageway are now dead ends.Took ages to muddle my way thru' and sorry to not have a clue how. | carole engel | 23/11/2019 |
Inspected the granite stone by the roadside on the route of the National Cycle Route 1, which 
bears the inscription: No. 6 Company Kincardineshire Rifles were the first corps of Scotch volunteers to go camp which they did at Clochandighter from 19th - 26th June 1869. Erected by their successors Buchan, Mar and Mearns BN of the Gordon Highlanders July 1930. 
A small eddy in the tide of the British Empire. (www.gairney.plus.com). Modern day visitors who are camped out here for longer than a week include Drilco - the oil and gas drillers who have a huge pipe storage stockyard area on SE flank of the hill. A new locked picket gate at start of track means a slightly awkward step through gappy barbed fence alongside required. 
 Boswell's monument prominent to the S commemorates John Boswell (early 1800s) who received the Royal Highland Society’s gold medal in recognition of land improvement hereabouts.This meant blowing up rocks, draining, fallowing and dunging the land. | Chris Pearson | 14/08/2019 |
4th Tump of a round of 4 by bike from Tillyoch E.C. After the first 3, this was a real delight. Started from SE, near Sunnyside, and cycled up track to summit, trig, reservoir and mast. From trig headed on path NW, where manholes suggested an underground pipeline from the reservoir. This meets the old road, which would be an excellent place to park a car, right next to the bypass, but unfortunately miles from any junction to or from it. | Minto | 19/05/2019 |
Dry and grey walk after parking to the NW. | Dugswell2 | 13/06/2018 |
Path from the NW. Parking on old section of roadway. | hill walker | 14/10/2017 |
Hardest part was finding somewhere to park! Opted for opposite the gate. Easy walk up a great path, as per previous log cap missing, trig between truncated mast and reservoir. Visited nearby memorial which has a rivet on the top. Also visit farm shop, lovely ice cream! | thejackrustles | 01/07/2017 |
