The hill known as Bennachie dominates the landscape north west of Aberdeen around Inverurie and Oldmeldrum. Its wooded sides offer some excellent walking and scenery. A productive forestry, mostly owned by the Forestry Commission, Bennachie now provides around 10,000 tonnes of timber annually. A seasonal visitor information centre on the southern side, overlooking the River Don, aptly named Donview, has a small car park.
