Bennachie

A busy day. Finished setting up mum's new laptop with bloody Windows 8. None of the migration tools from XP work.

Went over to Kintore to pay my gardener and check our house. We then got a few bits and pieces from Inverurie, before taking the scenic route past Bennachie on the way home.

Bennachie (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn na Cìche)is a range of hills in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It has several tops, the highest of which, Oxen Craig, has a height of 528 m (1733 feet). Though not particularly high, compared to other peaks within Scotland, the mountain is very prominent, owing to its isolation and the relative flatness of the surrounding terrain, and dominates the skyline from several viewpoints.
The most prominent peak, Mither Tap (518 m, 1699 feet) provides good views of the county to the north and east. Most of the tops lie along an east / west ridge, with the exception of Millstone Hill (409 m) an outlier or spur which is separated from and to the south of the main ridge. Mither Tap has an Iron Age fort on its summit.
