Inverurie Station to Kintore Station
a really beautiful walk. Leaves Inverurie on the quiet Old Port Road, then walkers' tracks through woodland and along the river edges of the Urie and Don (narrow, care needed near the water). Uses a farmer's tractor bridge and field-edge skirting and with well-defined farm tracks. Hillwalking boots needed for some sections. The route passes Kinkell churchyard and through farm yards (Ardmurdo, Balbithan). An optional stile route skirts fields at Breedie's Haugh near Kintore golf club instead of the road.
Easy: 8km, moderate ascents.
Narrow riverside paths require care; if the Urie or Don river levels are high, stay inside the fields. A narrow bridge over the Urie and the next bend need care with frequent cars in both directions.
