Scolty HillVisible from Otterstone (and all round Banchory for that matter) the monument on the top of Scolty Hill was built in 1840 as a memorial to General Burnett who fought alongside the Duke of Wellington. Guests who complete an energetic walk to the hill top will be rewarded with splendid views over Banchory, the Dee Valley and the Grampian Mountains, which surround the hill. However, if the climb is not for you then there are plenty of pleasant paths through the beautiful woodland below. The area is also very popular for mountain bikers.
