This is a circular walk will start from Milton Car Park and take the Deeside Way path past the Community Railway (West), into the outskirts of Banchory. The route will take us up into the old part of Banchory (on local path/pavements), down Tillybrake Road, on local off road routes through Hill of Banchory and out near the Tesco supermarket.
The route will then take us up into the Crathes Estate, where we hope to stop for a break at the Crathes Courtyard Café and complete the walk by the main driveway back to the Milton Car Park.
The walk is going to be co-led between Dawn Tuckwood and Susan McIntyre.
