Back to Craigendarroch

We went for a glorious walk up Craigendarroch today. The landscapes are beautiful at this time of year with a palette of yellows, oranges, golds, reds, browns, pinks, and greens.

Craigendarroch is a steep and craggy hill overlooking the village of Ballater in Aberdeenshire. It’s covered in oak trees, hence the name Craigendarroch – craig from the Gaelic word creag meaning rock and darroch from the gaelic word darach meaning oak tree. It’s a reasonably short walk and can be done up and back in 1.5 hours.

    That really puts me in the mood for autumn, now the rain has cleared for brighter, colder days
