It's the hill in Banchory! Walking distance from the town centre or take a car to the car park at the base of Scotty hill. (Pay and display). A few routes take you to the top of Scolty hill, otherwise you can take the walking routes around the base or walk over to 'Shooting Greens' and have lunch or coffee at the Potarch hotel which has newly reopened. If you don't feel like walking back, just walk out to the North Deeside road and jump on the bus back.
