Parked across the road from the Christmas Tree farm. Through the two deer gates (which protect some of the younger trees and then follow the path to the top of the hill. The trig is beyond the communications mast and a felled tree. Excellent views all around, including Aberdeen in the distance.

Walked through a field to the bottom of the hill and found a break in wire fence up the stone-wall, likely caused by recent storm damage. Did not want to go through the big gates as the Christmas Trees were growing.

Wide View Tree damage from the winter storms.

Easy gentle ascent to this one. Cap in place with deep lettering, and one sight-hole open. Whilst at the top I was given that unique flying display by a murmuration (is that the correct collective term?) of starlings. Wonderful.

Parked at the 'entrance' to the Christmas tree farm. Fence held together with a wee rope, easily untied and off up the muddy but good tyre tracks to the trig. Totally surrounded in all directions by Christmas trees! Tump 11739 Change Hill http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/mountaindetails.php?qu=S&rf=11739
