Overview

The meeting will be preceded by a walk starting from outside St James Church, Arbuthnott Street, Stonehaven.   The walk  will be the Dunnottar Castle circular and will return to the church by 1pm.   From St James Church we walk along the River Carron towards Lowwood Road to reach Carron Gardens, then enter Dunnottar Woods.  In Dunnottar Woods we will visit the Shell House, the Icehouse, Gallows Hill and Lady Kennedy’s Bath.  We leave Dunnottar Woods and cross the A957 on to a single-track road, passing East Newonleys and the old Stonehaven Radio Station buildings.  Stopping for a coffee beside Dunnottar Castle.   We will return to Stonehaven along the coastal path, visiting the War Memorial on Black Hill, then down to the harbour and back to St James Church.    Lunch can be purchased locally.   There will be tea and coffee and home bakes available during the meeting.   The walk leader will be Diane Campbell from Stonehaven Group.

The venue for the meeting is the St James Church Hall, the meeting will start at 2pm.   During the meeting we will discuss local matters and will also be joined by Gavin Corbett, Ramblers Scotland Policy and Advocacy Manager, who will update us on Ramblers Scotland work.  The Agenda and Annual Report will be available before the meeting. 

Please note that, if due to prevailing bad weather or road conditions, a decision will be taken the day before as the meeting will then be held on line.
