Hill of Fare Summit Cairn

Hiking

5.0

(6)

When heading west from Aberdeen, the first high ground you come across is a rough yet beautiful moorland, the loftiest point of which is named Hill of Fare. A number of Land Rover tracks explore the upland, making hikes to Hill of Fare gloriously accessible, whilst the scattering of Scots pine, colourful heather and lovely views make it an invigorating, short outing.

Hiking

A stone cairn marks the summit. Don't get confused by the slightly lower cairn, just as you come onto the plateau. The true summit cairn is slightly further along and off the path to the left - easy to miss.

Hiking

Coming up from either side the cairn for the summit is not on the main track. There is a faint path possibly marked on the map that leads off through the heather. Once spotted it’s easy to get to.

Cycling

The summit cairn is down a boggy, small track off the main path. A few white rocks mark the turnoff.
