Trees are starting to get sparse some 20 km north east of Aberdeen except in sheltered valleys and there are few hedges. In the middle distance is Mains of Ardiffery and the ominously named Gallows Hill. 'Ardiffery' means 'black hill of the shieling' according to Celtic Placenames in Aberdeenshire by John Milne.
