Cabrach Ruin vq8016jhp 
 Cabrach moor Scotland winter roofless ruin doorway open view wall stone barren bleak one of the bleakest landscapes especially during a nasty winter day. A few ruined crofts or farms can be seen and evidence of past Highland clearances as well as illustrating the hard life of farming in this unfertile moorland where in today’s harsh economic climate even sheep farming is a struggle. In the distance can be seen the distinct summit of the Tap O'Noth hill near Rhynie on which remains the vitrified fortifications from a Pictish hilltop fort and from which can be seen a similar relic from the past on Bennachie near Inverurie.
