Parked just off the A93 and walked down the track to the farm buildings. A very pleasant 20 minute down with grand view west.

Parked at the farm buildings and up the track to the left of the house. No one about to ask for permission, barky dogs were inside.

Drove up the road from the East and parked at the farm buildings. A short stroll past the house to the trig, the dogs were indoors.

As per Carol. Good track from A road to east (Ardgilzean Cottage) drive-able to farm where there is plenty of parking. No potholes but tarmac degraded to fine gravel. As I walked up past the farm the owner came out and was happy to grant me permission to walk to the trigpoint. I wouldn't describe the dogs as barky. They are just dogs! I had somehow convinced myself and Mr U2 that he had done this trig, so he stayed in the car. When I got back to the car, he said he really didn't remember the location but as he was still in a fragile state after Orrock Hill yesterday he decided it would remain unbagged for today anyway!

Drove down the minor farm road off the A93 - surface good - parked at farm and up 100m past houses to trig. Barky dog still there, fortunately the others were in the house. Easy bag.

Easy access from A93 then went farm side rather than house side - no dogs!

Parked in Stormontfield, my car does not do farm tracks. Several vehicles about farm buildings but no people or dogs.

Rubbish private pot-holed road to this one with very barky guard dogs in the adjacent farmyard.

Log #49. Easy approach from road, owners of the house were more than happy for me to go up to the trig for a look. Excitable dogs. [ExP-48/MiP-0/BM-1]

Approached from collection of buildings just to the south. Residents of the nearest were in the garden but seemed quite understanding when I spoke to them as I passed. Sure they laughed as I then dashed back to the car as the next heavy shower arrived

Hobbled up (twisted ankle on the Black Hill earlier) to reach this one from the Blairgowrie/Perth road, across a stubbly field, crows flapping around noisily. Windy with lowering clouds made for an atmospheric visit, worth my laboured approach (& return).
