| From Braidbog up the usual track in 20°C hail, thunder & torrential rain after a hot coastal walk. As hoped, the deluge was brief & it cleared for the summit. Took my 81yr old mum up too. She returned solo whilst I went on to Little Bin. | Lynnebe | 21/06/2023 |

| From forest gate, just NE of Braidbog. Nice paths all the way to the summit. Great sunset views. With Mntainman (Minto went up Little Bin). | Dangerous Dave | 08/12/2022 |
| 1/2 Followed tracks up through the very pretty forest to the summit, no problems, back same way to take a track leading between this and Little Bin then headed East up over the short heather to the top of this hill - bit of a yomp. Quite a bit more of a yomp when we headed due South to pick up a track back to the car - the track was evident, but quite overgrown, we got through ok but it is a bit yompy. Nice end of day walks and the sun slants through the trees nicely here. | nickywood1 | 12/09/2022 |

| This can be made into a very pleasant day walk. Park at Portknockie and walk the coast path to Cullen beach past the spectacular Bow Fiddle rocks. Over the bridge by the beach car park and along the road to cross the main road under the old railway viaduct. Through the lodge gate and a good track beside the river over the bridge, then via tracks and paths up the Glen Burn through lovely woods to join the Braidbog path to the the summit. Back down, then follow the obvious tracks north back to Cullen House. Over Castle Hill, ice cream in Cullen, then back to Portknockie. Lovely! | Gill2 | 03/08/2021 |
| Solo whilst on holiday in Lossiemouth, great weather. | kojak | 17/06/2021 |
| Enjoyable saunter from parking area NE of Braidbog. Descended from Bin viewpoint to col and thence to the summit and white stone cairn on Little Bin, weaving through open woodland, which draws you further in without revealing the summit in the manner of one of J M Barrie's enchanted woods. | Nick Down1 | 06/05/2021 |

| Dry and grey walk after parking near the beginning of the track at Braidbog. The track takes you to the summit viewpoint and short, fat trig but doesn't go the most direct route. | Dugswell2 | 11/06/2018 |

| Nice hill, good views. P SE of summit - good track all the way to top. View indicator cast plate broken into several pieces - pieces fit together & function as an indicator (had been put together incorrecly - I re-ordered & checked orientation - OK when I left). | ger | 19/04/2018 |
