The slightly curious road layout round here is explained by the 1870 1:10,560 map, which shows that the road originally ran from an older railway bridge straight past this cottage, which was next to the smiddy. The cottage potentially has a fine view south to Bennachie, but the trees round about may obscure it somewhat. Note that the summit tor is in sunlight, but the forest below is in shade all day in midwinter.
