Thought I'd take advantage of my Oldmeldrum Co-op errand by nipping up Hill of Barra whilst it still has the novelty of snow cover.
The route is well sign-posted and uses four stiles to cross from field to field up the hillside.
There is some pleasant woodland near the start.
View west to Tap o' Noth with a surprise appearance of Dunnideer Hill in front.
Plenty of arrows to point out the way.
First stile with hilltop beyond.
There aren't any good views of the hill on the way up but it does catch the eye on the road from Inverurie to Oldmeldrum.
The second stile.
Tap o' Noth and Dunnideer again.
The third stile.
Knock Hill to the north.
Fourth and final stile.
Hill of Foudland and Hill of Tillymorgan.
Tap o' Noth and Dunnideer again.
The Buck.
