This was to prove an interesting and exciting climb. Parking at Edzell’s Old Parish Church I headed uphill, north, in the field to the west of Drummore Hill. A beautiful day, very little snow and no wind – very decent hill walking conditions. Keep going until clear of the trees and a track will be found. Follow this north until it ends, jump the fence and keep going.
All of a sudden I heard shouts in the wind, a saw a row of people in the field behind all carrying red flags along with two small tractors heading up and down the field, then I heard shooting – a pheasant shoot was following me up the hill. That ensured I sped up over the last field, jumped the fence and headed straight north via couple of fences to the trig.
The trig sits on top of fantastically positioned but ruined cairn. They couldn’t take away the views which today – absolutely stunning. There is earthfast kerb on the south and bits of cairn material – the remains of the 6m wide by 0.5 high site.
There’s a lot to see on this hill, better head south west.
