Braemar Castle Car Park
Beautiful wee castle owned by Clann Fhearchair (Clan Farquharson) that’s leased out to a local foundation to allow it to be open to the public. The current castle was built in 1628 by John Erskine, Earl of Mar to replace the nearby Kindrochit Castle. Definitely worth visiting!
Tollohill Wood
Lovely woodland walk that’s ideal for dog walkers, families and those who enjoy exploring.
The woodlands feature a large Obelisk which commemorates Prince Consort Alberts visit to Banchory Devenick House, and is inscribed with “In remembrance of the visit of H.R.H. Albert Prince Consort to this spot XV sept MDCCCLIX (15th September 1859)”.
Tollohill also has a Neolithic aged Short Cist and remains of a small Ring-Cairn, just south of the Obelisk, which was first recorded in 1994, and would be around 2,000-4,000 years old.

Neolithic history in the heart of Aberdeen, info boards to help you learn about the history, and a wonderful view. Just a 10 minute walk from the main road.
