NJ6823 : Maiden Causeway, on Bennachie
taken 22 years ago, 3 km from Oyne, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Maiden Causeway, on Bennachie.
This prehistoric footpath leading up to the hillfort on the Mither Tap of Bennachie has an interesting story to its name. A girl is supposed to have accepted a marriage proposal on the proviso that, by the next morning, the suitor had built a road up Bennachie. The road was built - obviously by "Old Nick". Here are scattered silver birches on the heather moorland. The footpath has been improved due to the large number of walkers on the hill.
