Caption: | Mearns Devilly Burn Goskiehill summer gorse farmland flat sheep Cairnroad Fettercairn Aberdeenshire Scotland with Goskiehill Farm on left adjacent to the B974 Cairn O’Mount road between the Laurencekirk turn and the Clatterin Brig restaurant on the B974 Fettercairn to Cairn O’Mount road. Opposite the restaurant is the road to Auchenblae passing St Palladius Church and Drumtochty Castle in Glen Drumtochty which has interesting Forest Enterprise walks through mixed mature woodland and after leaving the forest the road enters Strath Finella passing a delightful small loch near Glensaugh, used for fishing and often visited by ducks and swans. Strathfinella Hills are at the foothill of the Grampians overlooking the wide flat fertile plain of The Mearns, from this viewpoint is near the site of Green Castle, the guardian of the entrance to the Cairn O’Mount which was later replaced by Kincardine Castle located further down on the Mearns just in the trees on the extreme right by the strip of road. |
