We are the Aberdeen Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Start at Birse and Feughside Church, we will take the community woodland path to the minor road. At the end of the road we turn sharp right to enter the south drive to Finzean Estate. On estate tracks continue on past South Lodge through open woodland with views over the estate, cross. the B976 at the Memorial and Standing Stones. Follow the marked track upward to Tom"s Cairn (310mtrs). Great views! Tom"s Cairn can be missed out for those not wishing to go to the top. We will retrace our steps to GR NO610941 and veer left down hill on a narrow footpath. Descend Harry's Hill, turn left onto path at the edge of a field. At the road turn right, walk on road to junction for Finzean School, just beyond the school there is a community path which takes us back to the church and the Finzean Tearoom and shop.
One section of the estate path is a bit muddy (gaiters may be required).
Up to Tom's Cairn has a steep section, walking poles would be useful
Care needs to be take on the road section
Meet at large car park on left as you enter the village outskirts. Depending on how many cars, we may ferry to the church.
