Field Visit (2013)
NJ 4744 3929 – NJ 4760 3968 A well defined hollow-way winds up a hill from just above an abandoned cottage. It crosses a forestry track and heads SW, presumably in the direction of Upper Gordonsburn. Its N end appears to pass through enclosure banks and drains possibly associated with the site of a farmstead shown on an 18th-century estate plan of the Braes of Gartly. This project is part of the Forestry Commission’s management strategy as described under Kirkhill, Aberdeen City.
