Erratic sandstone block located in Kinnoir woods
(If coming from the A96 direction) Head North on the A97 towards Banff. Follow this road for 2-3miles before taking the left turn signposted to Kinnoir. Follow this road for about another mile until you see a breakers yard (Sharpewood spares) on the left-hand side. Turn down this track and take a left at Sharpewood. This will bring you to a Forestry Commission gate. Park with consideration here (avoid blocking the gate on weekdays).
From the car, walk into the forest along the forest track. After about 50m you will reach a junction. From here you can either head west straight up the hill through the trees for about 5-10mins before reaching the castle stone (marked on OS map) or walk south along the track for 5mins before cutting back on yourself up the hill along another track.
Do not block Forestry Commission gate
Like a block from Font or Hepburn dropped in a random forest near Huntly! Cheers Ben for this great find. TeddyC - 13/Feb/19 |
