    Hiking

    Jock's Road (or Tolmounth) is a 22km footpath between Braemar and Glen Clova, via Glen Callater and Glen Doll. It may be named after Jock Winter, a shepherd who worked with the Scottish Right of Way Society. They challenged the local landowner and won the right-of-way for the historic drovers route.
    Note that some of this route is pathless, as it's quite boggy when ascending from Loch Callater.
