A superb hike, which starts on the Corrie Fee Trail and continues to a waterfall and the summit of Mayar. The view of the waterfall and the heathland is magnificent. The climb is mainly from the waterfall. Make sure you have good hiking boots and a good windbreaker. You will be dazzled by the scenery.

Departure from Angus
The Green route takes you to Corrie Fee, an exceptional peat bog set in a magnificent glacial cirque. Many people do a return walk from Acharn. Here we suggest a circular route involving a steep climb over boulders (‘staircase’) to reach the summit of Mayar. From the summit, follow the ridge line eastwards and then north-eastwards.

Departure from Aberdeenshire
There are 11 cairns to discover within the Balmoral Estate and this short walk takes in two of them – Prince Albert’s Cairn (aka “the pyramid”!) and Princess Beatrice’s Cairn. A beautiful forestry trail awaits, and after a fairly steady walk uphill you will reach the summit of Creag an Lurachain (442 m /1450 ft) where the pyramid sits. A steeper but shorter descent follows, and a very lovely suspension bridge crossing.
