| Beautiful calm winter sunset from this low viewpoint looking west to the snowy hills from Kerloch as far as Mount Keen. A boundary stone marked ‘23 AB ' by the lower NE summit is the highest of the 65 outer march boundary stones marking the Freedom Lands around the borough of Aberdeen. As far back as 1525 it was popular to ride the boundary of the marches on horseback. Aberdeen City council produce a useful leaflet for seeking them out today. Broken tarmac lane walk then heavy ploughed field edge today to field clearance boulders piled up on summit with shy trig in the gorse close by to east. | Chris Pearson | 27/02/2020 |

| Parking on Contlaw Rd to SSE. HP seems to be a pile of boulders in corner of the field. Trig pillar a little trickier to locate amongst the gorse. | jonglew | 27/10/2019 |
| Solo trip - straight up on West side of wall in field from Contlaw Road, easiest way to reach trig point without going through gorse is to climb wall at top of field, barbed wire fence here is broken to cross into field on East side of the wall. | PDuncan82 | 06/10/2019 |

| Here for trigpoint. Thought this would be easy! Abandoned car with hazards on, on Contlaw road. Headed up field on left side of fenceline to top corner, then read the previous log and realised it was in gorse. Climbed boulders and down to the other side of the wall, followed fence and wall along a few meters until I spotted the trig. | thejackrustles | 14/10/2017 |
