Tonduff East Top: My final Local 100

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 2 days ago
Not the most glamorous of summits, but of personal significance as it marked my 100th and last Local 100! Having spent the summer frantically bagging the smaller tops, it was nice to finish on a g...

Table Mountain West Top: Bird's eye view

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 2 days ago
As I reached the summit of this top on a gorgeous September day, I could see about 5 dark birds circling above and swooping to the heather every now and then, so I assume they were birds of prey o...

The only practical way to access this hill is from near the locked quarry gates on the road in front of it. I attempted it across the fields and scrub to the north via the adjacent masts, and the ...

Devilsmother North Top: Simple top on the way to main summit.

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Geo a week ago
The most direct approach is to park at small lay-by (1-2 cars) at L91270 65070 and proceed directly up steep slope in SE direction. Terrain is short grass mostly, and was solid underfoot in late M...

Picture: The summit cairn with the high point a few meters further to the left and Binn Mhor in the distance.		  
Another natural diversion with fine views.
by David-Guenot  8 Jun 2016
A substantial cairn marks the summit area, only a few meters from the true summit/highest point (see pic). It has fine views over the low ground to the S and over Mullach Glas to the E. I found its prominence seemed to be slightly more important than that of the NE Top, still I am not too sure about the Arderin Beg status either indeed.
