Very easy to get to - nice shortish walk and great trig - lots of parking - great views albeit getting very familiar these days.

Enjoyed this one. Extensive all round views from the top. Pillar has an open cap with one s/h open, and sits next to an untidy large pile of stones forming a cairn. Liked the stubby little tree close by with its green lichen sock!

Followed the marked track from the large layby. Cows, calfs and a bull in the initial field, but they all seemed friendly and docile. Of the three trigs we did today, this one had the best view, although it’s unfair to compare them as they are all superb. With Nozzer.

Day a bit overcast but good views from this unassuming wee Marilyn. Easy route up track from parking place on B9119 at NJ527064. Evidence of cows being kept in first field but none there today.

Parked in an icy lay-by just up the road from the pillbox (N57° 08.701' W2° 47.071') and headed up the icy farm track. After a while we decided to see if we could find the wee track up through the forest (N57° 08.425' W2° 47.078') but it ended up being quite dense snow and a tough walk, Robbie had to have a few carries. Very windy and cold at the trig but a great view, took large track all the way back to the car, see screen shot for route.

First came here in 2012 while geocaching but decided to come back today to get some photos although it was really misty and never saw anything bar the trig. I know there is great views here though.

Great weather which gave fantastic views all around, from Bennachie to Lochnagar. Followed path, narrow in places, all the way up.

Just a messy field at the bottom made it a pain to get going. Excellent parking on main road.

vgc, no cap or plug. Beside crumbling beehive cairn. low-heather summit, fine view. From NJ524061, signposted path heads SSW, leading eventually to summit. Heathery shortcut tempting, e.g. from from 523056 on descent.

Traditional trig. Top open. Easy access on forest tracks to end of trees, then along ridge. Shares summit with a 'monument'- a large collapsing beehive shaped structure.

Hill is surrounded by trees, but there are paths through to the moorland. Big cairn, in a state of near collapse. A good view.
