9th May 2026: Cairn Cattoch (Archiestown) circular walk

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).

Revised Sunday service time

As of Sunday, 3 May, 10am

Last autumn’s survey concerning time of Sunday morning worship revealed nearly 80% of respondents either struggle with the current time or would prefer an earlier start. The Kirk Session considered options and agreed to implement the earlier time of 10am with effect from Sunday 3 May. We would also like to take this opportunity to ask anyone with transport difficulties to speak to their district elder and we will do our best to help make sure you can get to church for worship.
