Another regular bag for myself along with Culter Fell used to keep hill fitness. A very distinct hill that can be seen from most of the surrounding area. Easy enough bag follow track up from car park to the summit where the trig lies on the fence line just west of the huge summit cairn and viewpoint.

Trig shows weathering on one face and some top damage. Cap gone but other metalwork in place. An enjoyable ramble!

I'll give a high mark for views even though a rolling cold grey gets us blowing in from NW. Thought we weren't going to go up as we hammered south from Plockton into hammering rain. Grey all around us but a lovely hill shadow of sun on this iconic hill - often gazed at from afar. Certainly is pink -- used route from Cicero Southern Uplands book, unlike some of the routes this is a great one - to Wiston and return via Howgate Mouth.

Log #192. Very hazy today - parked in public car park to north and followed the track to Totherin Hill, then the highway to the huge cairn and topograph on Tinto proper. The pillar is just off to the west, requiring a quick fence hop. The pillar is slightly damaged, with the cap missing and innards filled with stones, and the corners significantly chipped. Great views, but a little disappointed by the haze. First Donald! [ExP-156/MiP-5/Rev-2/BM-12/IS-14/Other-3]

Lovely sunny day, chill wind increased as we gained height. We took the direct route up from Fallburn just off the A73, just over 2 miles each way. Huge ancient burial mound at the summit, surmounted by a toposcope, with the trig slightly off to one side. Pillar has some damage to the top edges which has exposed the end of one of the spider arms, hence have classified it 'slightly damaged'. 2 sight holes open; cap missing as is the asphalt plug of which a residue remains. Tinto is a very prominent hill in the area, it can be seen for miles around and consequently there are excellent 360deg views from the summit.

A very very good viewpoint and a lovely hill sadly spoiled a bit by the crowds on the full length of the path up from the Falburn car park -a bit like the M8 when visited on a weekend! Still a gem though with great views of the Lowthers, Pentlands, Culter Hills and beyond.

Low mark as we could see nothing. Luck to get back to car before the rain came on.

The pillar with Tinto's huge cairn just visible through the mist in the background.

Score based on the likely view on a good day, but a mixture of hail and sun today. Pillar has some graffiti. Summit cairn seems to have a viewpoint indicator missing and is also the subject of graffiti.

Why would anyone climb 707m and decide to deface the trig?

Via Howgate Mouth & Lochlyloch Hill, with Fiona. Previous attempt had failed owing to blizzard - still the only time I've been turned back form a hill by snow.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed in August 1936 with flush bracket S1602. Following a rebuild completed 21st May 1954 costing £45.2s.6d, new flush bracket S8052 was fitted. In 1937 this marker was computed as primary station PP318 in Figure 3 of the OSGB36 Retriangulation network. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1958. This station was last maintained in September 1976. Long views in all directions.

Up the Scaut Hill Ridge.. A good way up that should be used, if only to educate the goml that has since besmirched it. Monster cairn of Irish proportions, even has its own ring contour on the 1:25k map
