From old primary school at Straloch. Track into hills anlong east side, continued round to the north past posh bothy (locked), wine glasses, and sheepskin covered benches. Track continues almost to summit, back more directly down the south heathery slopes.N.Morters27/05/2023

Exactly as per kdbennett. Foul awful wet day, really regretted doing it on such a day, because this is a cracking walk. Will return and do Bad an Tuirc this way so i can see where i was, cloud to road today. The school is closed, you can park there as well.hils12/11/2021

From Bad an Tuirc, down to the col, then up over heather and blaeberry, past an interestingly tall narrow cairn, 2nd cairn and then the summit. Good viewpoint.LizH27/06/2021
Up the track to Tarvie and past the rather smart new house, then after about 1/2 a km took the easy-going SE flank of Ben Skievie to is peak. NNE to Bad an Tuirc over pretty good terrain, then planned to do Meall Daimheidh but it was on fire! so headed over to Creag an t-Sithein, a rather heathery climb. Once beyond Carn Mor to its SE it was a really enjoyable ridge past the forested East slope, following a fence line until it reached a cliff face and its nesting kestrels. We managed to skirt around the steepest section to a phone mast, then a grass track took us over to the delightful Straloch Hill, before a walk along the road back to Tarvie.summitter06/03/2021

Solo trip from Straloch where it is still possible to park at the old primary school. The SE ridge is a quick ascent, and an ATV track leads north and down to a hut where a wall crosses the Estate track at NO035669, which is a pleasant return route.Invicta1418/06/2018

From Straloch, followed the edge of the forest up the SE ridge. Ground mostly dry and firm but above the top of the forestry the heather becomes long.Topographer5727/10/2017
