How to Get there:-
From Inverurie Police station head for Burnhervie; at the sharp turn
at the bottom of the hill, go straight on heading for Newbigging & Aquhorties
Stone Circle. Park at the first car park on the left hand side (just look
for the dog walker & you'll know youre there (note dont go as far as the
car park at the top of the hill)). Click here for

The Running Route:-
Red Route (6.25m approx):
From the car park (1) head uphill towards the stone circle. Go past the stones
& take the small path off to the left as soon as you hit the treeline.
Follow the path as it twists & turns, skirting round the edge of the
trees & bushes.
Briefly hook up again with the main path (2), before turning off to the right
down to the farm between the fields. At the farm (3), turn off to the right;
hook right again back to the edge of the treeline (4). Skirt along the edge
of the wood before turning sharp left onto the path through the wood. Follow
the path downhill to the gate (5), turn right again skirting round the edge
of the wood, whilst climbing upwards. Continue along to the path intersection
(2). Repeat the loop (2) - (3) - (4) - (5) - (2). Then follow the original
path up past the stone circle, through the woodland loop
& back
to the
car park (1).
