Geocache Description:

This is a nice walk along a track from Tolquhon Castle.

The Drovers trail is actually part of the Old Aberdeen trail from Tarves to Aberdeen. The track for this cache starts in the car park for Tolquhon Castle and has a slight incline heading towards the cache. Walking boots or other sturdy footwear is recommended.
The cache is a small lock n' click type box with some swaps and a log book inside.
After bagging the cache, if your still in the mood for walking you can continue further along the trail. You can either go left towards Raithill or go right towards Tarves.
There are good views to be had especially towards Bennache and this is also a good walk for dogs. Not many people use this trail and I've very rarely met anyone else on it. To be honest this is an enjoyable walk at any time of the year.

Also from the car park you can visit Tolquhon Castle. We haven't been, but it might be worth a visit.

Continuing on down the road a short distance will take you to Tolquhon Gallery which is worth a visit.
