1st April - Jock O Bennachie Café Given the Green Light!

Last night, Aberdeenshire Councillors voted unanimously in favour of a new outdoor café near the summit of Mither Tap. This new facility will be a social enterprise hub, run by The Bailies of Bennachie and local volunteers. It will be built using granite sourced from the once bustling quarry at little Oxen Craig. The Bailies of Bennachie have been planning this café for several years and see it as a great opportunity for outdoor visitors to maximise their enjoyment of the hill and the views from the summit terraces before making their way home.

Outdoors With The Bailies

The Bailies of Bennachie want to help inspire young people to enjoy and appreciate the outdoor environment.

We have created an online set of three fun activities to engage and inspire young people.

Even if you cannot come to visit Bennachie, these resources (which are aimed at Primary School children) have been designed to be relevant to your local woodland, green space, park, or even garden.
