Plenty of parking at the Gamekeeper's Cottage. Followed the obvious tracks until the final bit before the summit. Last bit was a bit rough. Wandered about on top to make sure I covered all the possible candidates.BigJ22/10/2023
From NNE, near Inshriach House, mapped forest road to then good path from NH 8691 0618 leads to summit. 3 HP candidates, one likely manmade. Back via the Subtump. Sunny breezy morningRHW11/10/2023

As for Kennapole Hill, from Gamekeeper's Cottage.Kompass06/05/2023
From Feshiebridge. At NH 86514 06011, where the increasingly poor forest road goes right, it is better to go straight on, along a path, which leads to the top. At the top the path carried on but I don't know where it goes.Alan Moore08/01/2023
Followed CJMs route and also covered the 4 possible contenders.sarahk02/01/2023
Parked opposite The Gamekeeper's Cottages, room for a few well parked cars. Along track, left along next track and along path, at right bend to top. Visited summit and 3 other contenders.CJM01/02/2022
3 of 4: From Kennapole Hill. Felled area with a few possible HPs reading the same. I obtained a higher reading at 86905 06461 but only with a Garmin etrex 10. Returned to Loch an Eilein for Balvattan. With Karen.ChrisR20/01/2022
From Kennapole on reasonable tracks for most of the way. Descent to Gamekeeper's Cottage.sclater09/01/2022
Walked along roads from Inchriach Nursery then uphill using paths187lenny24/10/2021
creag ghlas uaine and kennapole hill biked up near top of both.robertphillips06/08/2021
On a walk round forest roads with diversions to do this hill after Kennapole Hill (qv). Used the path from NH86880622 as others. This lovely path is clearly maintained as three spruces that fell across the path in the valley at the start have had their trunks cut out there and the obstructions removed. Through the crags to HP in felled area so more fine views. A half-day (3h) walk in all from parking spot 100m NE of Inshriach nursery. Fine, cold afternoonpwheeler04/05/2021
I followed the track then path from near Inshriach House but came down more directly on another path. There are lots of small paths around the hillColin Crawford09/06/2018
From forest road to E. Leave on small footpath at road bend. Follow to col E of hill. Faint path winds easily through crags up to summit areaPeteN29/01/2018
The summit and the south western side of the hill have been felled. Ascended from the track just west of Inshriach House. At the bend in the track below the two summits there is a path, which leads between the two hills and then ascends to the summit through crags and misses most of the felling.JohnW13/04/2016
FRom Gamekeeper's Cottage. Felling going on. After left turn the track north is OK up to T-junction. For ease of progress then turn half-left, not left, then after another 10m take right hand of 2 tracks and keep along green track just o/s trees. Can get through cut area and onto top OK by this way.RocksRock27/09/2015
Track from nr Gamekeeper's Cottage. After left fork above 300m there are a lot fallen trees and later track is rather faint.chrisbien07/06/2013
