The image top is of the B1347 road that runs
up to North Berwick from the National Museum of Flight 5
miles south.
There are Signs from the Car Par pointing
round the northwest side where you pick up the
Trail to the top.
There is a Cart Track that winds its way
around the Hill all the way to the top.
There are a number of Steeper Routes to the
top leading off the Cart Track, some rocky and
slippy in the rain. You are supposed to stay on
the Cart Track to avoid Erosion.
Dogs are to be kept on Leads as there are a
number of Horses on the Hill, even right at the
top.
The Summit has remains of an Iron Age Hill
Fort.
1709 - an Arch made of a Whale's Jawbone was
erected on the top of the Hill.
1800s early - the Building, now a ruin,
close to the top, was used as a Lookout during
the Napoleonic War.
2005 - the Arch was removed for safety
reasons.
2008 - a Fiberglass Replica of the Arch was
erected to give the Town its famous Landmark
back.
The views from the Summit are amazing over
North Berwick and the Islands of Craigleith,
and Bass Rock a little south.
