Walk
ID: 830 |
This is a very popular walk with local people and this has caused some erosion on the old, steep path which climbs this hill too directly, so there is now a new and much improved path which takes an easier and less direct route to the summit at 589 metres. The walk is accessed from a small car park shown in Waymark 1 which is on the Banchory - Fettercairn road, the B947, ten kilometres south of Banchory. There is no local transport in this area.
A new path starts at the car park and leads through the edge of a wood, passing Glendye Lodge and emerging at a flat area known as Millers Bog. Following a little stream, a track leads to a small wood where a footpath begins the 2km steep climb to the summit - a gain of 370 metres. Views from the top include westward to Mount Battock and Lochnagar, north to Bennachie and on a clear day, south-easterly over the Firth of Tay to Fife.

30/10/06 - Chris Lodge :
Absolutely gorgeous walk with magnificent views from the top.
Timing is spot-on, although I would say that the return path to the north of the small wood is growing indistinct, and is currently obstructed by fallen trees-you may wish to simply return on the main trail.
17/12/09 - Stuart Anderson :
Great scenery,nice and short and views from the top are great.
Well worth trying on a nice clear day just for the views.
