Barmekin of Echt is an astounding Hill Fort with five dry stone walls and ditches surrounding the top of the hill. Getting to the top of Barmekin is for dry days, the heather is knee deep and the dense ferns are over 6 feet in places, not an easy climb, if you can find a path you are one of the lucky few.
