A “Bede House” was a hostelry/hospital of medieval origin for displaced men built and served by a religious house or landowner. The Bennachie Bede House lies 500 m to the southwest of Pittodrie House (now a hotel) alongside a turnpike road at a junction with an older road that used to skirt Bennachie to the East and South. Used to be hidden under the trees, now in the middle of forestry works destruction

The surrounding forrest has now been cut down (spring 2025). No longer an enchanted place it used to be. Path leading to it from the Turnpike trail is badly damaged by forest operations and the whole area is a one big wasteland of scarred soil, tree stumps and branch debris

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!

Recreating a 19th Century Colony Kailyard (kitchen garden)

The perfect half way spot for a wild cup of tea. There is a lovely tree canopy that shelters you from the elements if need be. I also managed to lie on the forest floor and listen to the trees swaying.

The Maiden Stone, also known as the Drumdurno Stone after the nearby farm, is a Pictish standing stone near Inverurie in Aberdeenshire in Scotland, probably dating to the 9th century AD. The Maiden Stone is a 3m-tall cross-slab of pinkish granite, dating to sometime after AD 700. It’s a sculptural delight, bearing both characteristic Pictish symbols and what may be a biblical scene. Plenty of local folklore exists around the Maiden Stone. One tale has it that the stone was once a maiden, who lost a bet with the Devil. As she fled, the Devil turned her to stone. Another says it’s a memorial to a young woman killed as a result of a dispute between two families. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Stone - https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/maiden-stone/
