This is a great site clearly observed from many parts of Moray. Access is excellent via well maintained grassland tracks and is clearly signposted from the roadside. It is a steep acent and not suitable for push chairs or anyone with walking difficulties. From the top you have extensive views to Lossiemouth and beyond to the East, Findhorn, and Cromarty to the West and The Black Isle to the North.Equally good view on the South side, inland. There are a couple of options for the downward path circumnavigating the south side of the slope through small forestry plantations which house many varieties of butterfly and deer. Very rarely see anyone on it which is a terrible shame as it is well worth a visit. Flossiefaelossie
