Started at Easter Rarichie Farm, up through the farm and past the old farm cottages, up Hill of Nigg / Cnoch Coinnich which features the ancient hill forts or ‘duns’ of both Easter and Wester Rarichie. Both of historical significance to the area. Very overgrown as on farmland.
Cut through the large wheat field to get back to the farm.

Excellent views of the Moray Firth and the Port an Righ (King’s Port) which is where local legend states that Viking Princes on a ship from Denmark were killed on the jagged rocks as their ship was wrecked.

There is a similarly overgrown footpath down to the Port an Righ but I didn’t do that this time around.
