The boundary line shown on the map which runs across the summit is an electric fence. The summit cairn and trig point lie inconveniently on the north side of the fence!
If approaching from Wester Cairn there is a short insulated section about 100m before the summit where it is possible to cross.
If approaching from Hill of Saughs, there is a spring ‘gate’ where it is possible to cross just before reaching Hill of Saughs.

Climbed this mountain from Glen Esk to the south. Extremely easy ascent on landrover tracks, wide variety of birdlife too on the heather moors. A bit of a tramp that would be a little tedious in poor weather/visibility.
