Aberdeen

Beans Hill: Located north of Peterculter in the City of Aberdeen this Tump was climbed from the minor road accessed off the B979 Peterculter to Westhill Road. I parked beside the Equestrian Centre then walked north across a stubble field to the summit of Beans Hill. The return was by the approach route.

Cloghill: This Tump, also within the City of Aberdeen, was located west of Kingswells and accessed from the Kingswells to Blackburn Road. I left my car beside a bend in the road at Longcairn, crossed a couple of barbed wire fences, and entered a field containing cattle. I managed to avoid these beasts to reach the summit of Cloghill before returning by the upward route.
