There is a car park marked on the map that you can get to from two different directions and it has space for quite a lot of cars and gives you great access to this hill.

There is a cairn on the way up, so head towards that and you’ll be going the right way. | Tamron Adaptall SP 24-48 @ 24mm, f11.

The path is very good at the beginning and generally solid all of the way up, but there are some distracting sheep trails that led me off of the main path a couple of times.
