Easy parking at Burnside Hall, Balmullo, taking this in as part of a 7 mile Circular walk. Easy going along tarmac,farm tracks up the hill through woodland paths and heather. The weather was kind today, so good 360' views. Trig in good condition, sitting not far from the MOD mast.

Parked opposite the entrance to the quarry where there is ample parking. Road up to the quarry is in good condition. Hoped the fence and up the hill to the east of the quarry. Followed the fence line to the first gate the up the the gorse using the tracks.

Parked NO423214 (layby) and access to hill. At gate NO 4203 2157, direct to trig over short bilberry. heather and gorse - not hard. Return via lovely path E/NE to wood edge. Had to climb wall/fence to return to car. Route from north therefore probably very pleasant but it seems parking is difficult.

Agree lots of routes but no parking. The quarry road has more craters than road left and is a very interesting (NOT) drive. Ended up in girl guide centre car park, very quiet today. Then up the road to the end, and took a left hand path in the direction of the trigpoint picking up a few geocaches on the way. Myriad of paths in these woods not shown on any maps.

A fine Sunday morning jaunt from Cuplahills, via Willie's Wood and up the track through the fields from the south-west. Pillar in good condition with a few chips in it. Good views in all directions, Stuc a' Chroin and Ben Vorlich prominent on the western horizon.

I bagged this whilst completing the nearby cache series. Not the biggest hill and even though it was dark at almost 7pm on a very windy night the views were still pretty good.

Someone has placed geocaches all over the hill so I went for a winter walk to nab them all. Half way round brought me here so I logged the trigpoint also. Great views, frosty ground, distant snowy hills but no snow nearby

Parked in the wide Quarry Road, and climbed the hill from the village of Lucklawhill. The pillar, which is just below a cairn of loose stones, has its cap intact with shallow lettering & one sight-hole open. Plentiful splendid all round views including to the north Dundee & the Firth Of Tay, and to the south the Firth Of Forth.

Quarry has spared the summit, but a particularly foul mobile phone mast is now next to the moorland top. Parked by some llamas and walked in through a very Derbyshire like landscape of old cottages now extended and showing other symptoms of a servere outbreak of money. Relief to get into the woodland. This is obviously a popular walking area and is full of wildlife, roe deer,woodcock and any number of different singing thrushes - rainforest noisy. The AWACS was even noisier. Only trig of today without partridges. Pillar intact next to a summit cairn made of brick. (tidying up old quarry/communications building) Views to Dundee and St Andrews.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 26th September 1948 costing £7.9s.0d. Later in 1948 this marker was computed for triangulation at secondary station NO42/9 in the Dundee block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1967. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in October 1981. Quarry heading this way.
