キノード湖での 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Small car park (fee).

Interesting. Access might be tricky for those with limited mobility.

A waypoint on the circular path. Trees need trimming.

More of a waterwall than waterfall there’s been so little rain - just a trickle down one side at the moment :(

Worth a trip here for that alone

Kinord Cross is a beautifully carved cross slab which dates to the end of the Pictish era, most likely sometime in the 9th century. One side of the kite-shaped stone slab is carved with a relief of an ornate cross, filled with interlace designs. The cross was once thought to be associated with the chapel of nearby Kinord Castle. In the late 19th century the cross was removed to Aboyne Park, but in 1959 it was returned to the shores of Loch Kinord, as near as could be determined to its original location.

This ancient settlement, complete with hut circles and a carefully laid out field system, is set on a neck of land between Loch Davan and Loch Kinord and is part of the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve.

The Battle of Culblean was fought on the 30th of November 1335, during the Second War of Scottish Independence. The Scots, led by Guardian Sir Andrew Murray, achieved victory over an Anglo-Scottish force commanded by David III Strathbogie, titular Earl of Atholl a strong supporter of Edward Balliol.

information center for the area: Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve. From here you can follow 4 well-marked walks. There is also a toilet and picnic benches.

great spot for bird watching and bird song. look out for siskins!

An interesting island, created over 2500 years ago!

It's a short walk from the car park. There is a scramble through the burn and under a chokestone. Therefore best avoided after heavy rain. There are other walks here too, for example around Loch Kinord or up the hill to make a bigger outing.

This small visitor centre has information about Burn O'Vat, a pothole located close to Loch Kinord near the village of Dinnet. You'll also find toilets as well as a tap with drinking water at the back of the visitor centre.

Nice wee waterfall and cave

The plaques are great to help identify the mountains

Easy ford crossing - I always like to know how wet my boots are going to get

A good amount of spaces to park to walk to the Burn O'Vat or the various trails around Loch Kinord. Parking is free and there is a toilet too. The visitor centre when open has some good information.

Here there is a clear view across to the man made island that was once a crannog. An information board provides some further detail.

An ancient carved stone, easily spotted in a small fenced off area along the lower path. Information board too. Just above on the hill there is a bench to enjoy the views of the loch.

The Vat is an impressive waterfall into a pothole which probably formed after the retreat of the last ice age. It makes a good target for a run but it's an out and back and not a very long run if you start at the visitor centre, fortunately nearby Loch Kinord has a great perimeter path to create a longer loop if you fancy it.
