쉬운 Donside 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

A good spot to stop and enjoy the view over the Howe of Alford before entering the forest. If you cycled up the climb from Tullynessle you may be glad of the chance to stop for a moment or two!

The parish church of Strathdon is a striking cruciform building, very large for a rural parish. It sits on slightly raised ground above the Water of Nochty with fertile agricultural land surrounding it. The church is located within a large, walled graveyard, with a modern cemetery extension to the west. The large former manse stands just to the north. There has been a church on this site since at least 1200, when it was known as Invernochty. A map shows a church here in 1654, which was replaced in the 1660s and then rebuilt again a hundred years later. The present church dates to the mid 19th century and was largely funded by the landed and influential Forbes family. The kirkyard contains a Tardis-like red granite ashlar Egyptian mausoleum of two storeys built for Mary Forbes, wife of Daniel Mitchell.

View to Morven (871m)

A genuine 16th-century Scottish tower castle that stands out with its shimmering pink harl plaster and decorative bay turrets. Visits are possible, there is a parking lot nearby.

A good castle to go and see and visiting inside is charged by the National Trust. The back here is definitley the best view. Large car park for ample parking.

Very nice tower house

Nice little summit with some good views. Forest parking and several small trails lead to the summit. The upper slopes have been deforested, with clear views all round.
