Cothiemuir Hill rises from verdant arable land, through a belt of deciduous ancient woodland and mature Scots Pine, to a Neolithic stone circle crowning the wooded crest of the hill. The four and a half thousand year-old Neolithic stone-circle, thought to mark an ancient burial ground, is dominated by two huge flankers and what is reputed to be the largest recumbent stone in Europe.
Just down the hill are woodland glades planted with Beech, Blackthorn, Ash and Rowan.
I've placed this cache to remember my friends' daughter Rowan, who is now laid to rest next to a Rowan tree.
Cothiemuir is a beautifully tranquil place, and a walk around the woods at any time of year is a refreshing way to escape the humdrum of everyday life, be at one with your thoughts, or simply to take in the country air.
Thank you for visiting.
