Another cloudy day but with bright periods and occasional showers. First hill of the day was Glack Wood, just outside Dunecht. I parked at a wooden gate to the south and followed a good track to a working area in the wood and then a clear path to the trig. This one felt like a proper hill! There was a fine view north to the Mither Tap on the route up.....

The trig.....

looking south-west.....

looking east to the coast.....

Using my hill identification app, I managed to pick out Lochnagar in the far distance (just off centre in the photo).....

Nice hill.

A short drive took me to the village of Kemnay. Kemnay Hill was on the outskirts and was crowned by an unusual man made viewpoint- unusual because it incorporated a flight of steps.....

The north side of the hill had been quarried for granite and was now flooded.....

There were a number of possible high points around the rim.....

and this is the view of the village from the top of the viewpoint.....

The final hill of the day was closer to Inverurie- Logie Hill which was due north of the main runway of Aberdeen airport. I could have driven to the top but decided to park in a lay-by on the road below and walk. There was an old caravan at the top! Looking straight down the runway with Aberdeen City in the background.....
