Gallow Hill: This Tump is located north of Inverbervie and was approached from the minor road to the west parking on the verge beside the road leading to Craighead. I then walked east along a farm track, crossed a gate and a stubble field to reach the summit. The return was by the approach route. Beware of the farmer, not a happy chappy!
Craig Hill: Located north of Arbuthnott on the B967 Inverbervie to Fordoun Road this Tump was ascended from the west parking at the side of the minor road south of Alpity Farm. I walked east along a farm track to a stubble field in the process of being ploughed. Worked my way round the west and south sides of the ploughed area but ended up crossing it for around 100 metres to reach a grassy island containing the trig point. The return was by the upward route.
Mains of Kair: The summit of this Tump is located very close to the minor road north-east of Fordoun. Parked at the side of road near the farm and walked a few metres east onto an embankment which would appear to be the summit.
Hill of Strathcathro: This Tump is located north-east of Brechin with two points shown as being the same height. The first one, shown on the map as Hill of Strathcathro, was located north of the staggered crossroads junction north-east of Huntlyhill. I parked beside the entrance to a wind turbine, crossed a locked gate and walked past the turbine onto a vehicle track and into an area where pheasants were fed. I walked south-west along this track to the highpoint located at the side of the track.
On returning by the approach route I drove to south-west of Huntlyhill and parked in a field before walking north-east along a vehicle track then through some long dead vegetation to a large boulder surrounded by a wooden fence. This stone marked a battlefield site and was the alternative summit. I headed back to my car as shooters were gathering for a pheasant shoot.
Angus Hill: This Tump was located south-west of Brechin. I parked in the lay-by on the B9134 Brechin to Forfar Road just west of Hillbarns and walked up a farm track into a field. I then walked along the edge of this field, crossed a stone dyke and barbed wire fence and entered a stubble field where the summit of Angus Hill was located. The return was north across the stubble field to rejoin the B9134 then it was back to my car.
