| Parking on bridge at NX903981 (no vehicles allowed to Burn). Through the policies of Burn onto track with white chicken ‘close gate’ signs to pheasantry. Start of ATV tk which makes a steep ascending TR L, is indistinct – goes all the way to the top | Isbjorn | 16/08/2024 |
| From Kettleton Bridge, through Burns Farm and 3 fields to the start of the ascent passed the sheepfold following the obvious ditch, deviating off it as you get higher to reach the trig pillar. Then it is a trudge across tussocks to the spot height summit. Headed for the track again at Morton Park which was followed back to the car | Wayne Mac | 07/01/2024 |
| Parked on the verge east of Burn farm for Bellybought hill - Little Fell - Auchenleck hill | Andrew Simmons | 13/02/2023 |
| From verge parking just E of junction to Burn farm. Through farmyard and up marked track almost to the most amazing track end car park. Up to sheepfold, and path along old earth dyke. Trig point easily reached, bit of a tussocky bog-hop to the claimed high point, though it didn't feel so. | Minto | 14/02/2022 |
| With Minto - see log. | NormanW | 14/02/2022 |
