Start point: We will meet in The Square, Archiestown (N side of B9102 High Street).

Route: The walk is on good quality wide forest tracks, except for the last path section at the top of the hill which is very walkable. We will walk due north from parking, turning right after about 1km. We follow the track to the top of the hill, turning left to take us to Cairn Cattoch. It’s a steady rise all the way, and a gentler walk down. Excellent views at the top (to the Bin of Lossie), and to Ben Rinnes and Cragganmore on the way up and down.

Distance: 8.62km (162m ascent).
