Gouk Stane, Bennachie

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Jun 25, 2009

Very easy fieldnotes. From the A96 north of Inverurie follow the road to Chapel Of Garioch, going past Balquhain RSC. From here go south following the signposts to the Bennachie Vistor Centre. The walks are indicated on large signs, indeed the walk is known as the Gouk Stane walk. Plenty of car parking.

Visited May 09.
