A small hill south of the Deeside town, Banchory. Its best-known feature is the 20m tall tower monument, erected in 1840 as a memorial to General William Burnett (who built Banchory Lodge in the early 1800s) and fought alongside Wellington. It offers great views of Royal Deeside from the top and is an easy walk for all abilities.
