You can actually walk to Kinpurney hill from the Balkello car park if you fancy a longer, different route - about a 3 hour round trip or 4-5 if you take in the other hills as well. Head up towards Auchterhouse hill (lovely viewpoint) then just follow the tracks heading west - some less obvious than others and buried in heather Once you get past the quarry and hit the large forestry track follow this up and past a wee loch down on the right and just after that there's a narrow path, again on the right, down through the heather to a fence at which point you'll see Kinpurney hill and the monument to your left. You can also do a big loop using the tracks over the back (north) of Auchterhouse and Balluderon hill with a bit of bush whacking and following your nose (or a map) to vary the return route back to the car park. Added benefit of being very quiet...so don't tell everyone

Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.
