Bailies of Bennachie
Bennachie is the best known range of hills in the North East of Scotland. The highest summit being Oxen Craig at 528m and the most prominent Mither Tap at 518m.
The Bailies of Bennachie were formed almost 40years ago as a voluntary conservation society, who’s objectives are to encourage and stimulate the public’s interest of Bennachie.
Our work involves the maintaining of footpaths and rights of way, enhancing people’s enjoyment of Bennachie, by promoting its geology, literature, ballads, poetry, art and music through publications and events.
Bennachie has many faces, some of which can been seen at an exhibition in the Bennachie Centre, Essons Car Park near Chapel of Garioch.
As a registered charity you can help continue and support the valuable work of the Bailies for an annual membership of £5 ( see membership page).
Activities in 2012
The Bailies have ongoing projects including Bennachie Landscapes Project (and this year Aberdeen University have obtained funding so will be more actively involved with the project), monthly work parties (see Volunteering) and from April we will be running guided walks on the hill (see Events).
