| Parked just after cattle grid, in entrance to something - a small holding? (NF 9492 7226). Took almost a direct line up here over fairly rough ground, quite a bit of it on faint trods and atv tracks. On to Weaver Point lighthouse and picking up the 3 tumps on the return for a 13.6km round. | jonglew | 07/03/2023 |

| Parked at roadside quarry opposite west corner of Bagh a' Chaise. Pedestrian gate above quarry gives easy access to the hillside. Pathless heathery ground to ridge then peat hags to trig. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 13/06/2022 |

| From small quarry to NW, near end of road. | ger | 04/09/2021 |
| From car park viewpoint west of hill above Loch Smallag. Up obvious grassy slope then over broad ridge to trig. Amazing place, all but an island... | N.Morters | 04/05/2021 |
| Parking in tarmac-ed turning circle, trying not to block it. The house seems to have been done up, including a brand new, bulldozed track. Along this almost to the house, where you can get up onto the hill easily just above the house fence on sheep tracks. The sheep tracks lead above a small plantation, then to a fence and an easy stream crossing. The tracks lead on to a rushy gully, giving the easiest line to the hill. Nasty hags above this, so contour E below them, then pop out near the trig. Nice views, shame about the hill. | Gill | 18/10/2020 |
| From road end at Cheese Bay. Room to park in small quarry about 200m before the end of the tarmac. Through gate in fence just to the east of quarry, then directly up to summit. | Winterfloodian | 18/10/2020 |
| 1.5hrs from ferry to the summit - terrific views to N, S & W. | Chris Peart | 23/04/2019 |
| Going home today so a quick walk before ferry from Lochmaddy. Just drove down the road to park slighly north of the hill, layby to park in. Parked directly below the summit. Straight up and back again on a misty day. OK I guess, a bit of exercise. Lovely views I would imagine on a better day. | nickywood1 | 16/06/2018 |

| From road end parking. Good path to old house along shore then fainter lines up hillside. Heather bash last 50m. Trig in great location above the Sound of Harris. | nordicstar | 28/04/2016 |
| Up from the road end. Good views to Harris. | jenx | 28/04/2016 |
| Parked at end of road where there are two turning points. Through gate and immediately turn up hill following fence on the right, reach a gate through a decrepit fence and cross a small burn below a pretty waterfall. Hill was mostly rough heather and being tired made it hard going. Superb viewpoint for such a small hill. | Campbell Singer | 03/04/2016 |
| There is a new carpark on minor road to West. With Mora. | BLACKHILL | 06/05/2015 |

| My first Marilyn in my 10 trips to North Uist | pdantic | 19/08/2002 |
| From the end of the minor road descended to the rocks to make sure this walk was from sea level. Then made the short ascent to the trig past a lovely little waterfall on the way. From the top Harris Skye and the Uists could all be seen very well. | garyhoney | 04/08/2001 |
| From road end at Loch Portain. Second lowest Marilyn on list. Over heather and tussock, by-passing rock slabs and to top after 1/2 mile down and up. 15.15. | arranc | 03/06/2001 |
