Welcome to the Bailies of Bennachie
Bennachie is the best known and most prominent range of hill in North East Scotland. From the highest summit Oxen Craig being 528m or 1733 feet, to the most prominent, "The Mither Tap o' Bennachie, The sailors' lan mark frae the sea" Mither Tap at 518m boasts an Iron Age fort on its summit.
Being close to the expanding communities of Inverurie, Oldmeldrum and Kintore Bennachie can be readily accessed from Aberdeen. This means that these hills are enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.
There are extensive paths on the hill suiting all abilities. These paths have recently been upgraded and extended with the financial help of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
There are four car parks around Bennachie most with toilet facilities (open April - October) and designated picnic areas that can be enjoyed by all.
We hope this web site will help you explore the many faces of Bennachie.
