A stunning view eastwards over Aberdeenshire from the top of our local hill Bennachie
The 13th century castle ruins are the most obvious evidence of fortifications on the hill, but much older walls encircle the site! Park your car in the lay-by and take a short steep trek up the hill.
Taken from the top of the Hill of Dunnideer just outside Insch in Scotland, a beautiful walk including exploration of the hill and its 2000 year old fort atop it.

Best Place I’ve Ever Stayed
Truly a magical experience! And we may have had an encounter with the Green Lady! The rooms were all lovely and it was difficult to pick which one I wanted. We held a murder mystery event on the evening of my birthday through Red Herring Events and it was fantastic!
