Parked in the Earn car park (accessed via a seriously pot-holed track which shoogled the car suspension). Wishing I'd done my homework beforehand and parked in the car park to the north after reading about the sculpture trail). Straightforward walk along forest trails - took the yellow route which led straight to the Moredun Fort where the trig is located. Pretty impressive views from up there despite it being a dreich afternoon. Bit of a rough paint job on the trig though!

Timed it quite fortunately to get up here shortly after the midday rain had eased off. Dramatic views down to the valley below with the sunlight brightly beaming through the clouds right now.

Re visit... Left it too late in the day after a slothful time in Tesco café in Perth where I spent nearly five hours messing around having coffee and drawing contour lines on my maps before leaving early South car park of Moncreiff hill in early evening and then still watching a set of tennis, so by the time I got out of the car it's started to gently rain...!

Not actually on Moncreiffe Hill summit. It's at the secondary hill fort a couple of hundred metres away. Lots of a great ancient history and fanastic views. Location of one of the best stone armchairs just below the trig. Could have stayed all afternoon.

Approached from Rhynd Road carpark to the north. Uphill then made mistake of taking 'red' route, which may circle trig but loses lots of height with a steep reascent. Great views from top - must be worth more than a 5.

Parked near Easter Moncreiffe and walked up the large forestry tracks and then took a wee track off up to the trigpoint, we then continued picking up a few geocaches on the way and ended up in the dark on Moredun Top which according to hill bagging is Moncreiffe Hill, glad we took the wee extra hike to the top.

This hillfort slightly less impressive but impressive nonetheless. FB faces east-ish with east-ish sighthole open only. Cap missing but asphalt plug present. Good views to the south and west.

Decent tracks up from the Earn car park but as the tracks are not as marked on the Landranger maps could have done with more information boards. Very popular with dog walkers and witnessed one individual bagging the mess and then deliberately dropping the bag. Idiot. Pillar in a great location only slightly spoiled by traffic noise from the M90 below.

This area is managed by the Woodland Trust, but seems to be a magnet for dog walkers. Tip-toed through the many dog walkers and their generous dog droppings; noted a number of those plastic doggie-do bags by the wayside & hanging on trees. Fortunately, none of the dog walkers had walked to the top so had the two wonderful hillforts to myself. Pillar fine, asphalt filled cap with one sight hole open.
