Bennachie, Mountain summit in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The Bennachie ridge rises to 528 meters with two main summits, Oxen Craig and Mither Tap, offering views across Aberdeenshire and the Cairngorms.
The summit of Mither Tap contains remains of an ancient Pictish fort, with stone walls and defensive structures dating back several centuries.
Local artists and students from Chapel of Garioch Primary School contribute artwork to the Bennachie Centre Trust's annual calendar, supporting the visitor center.
The Bennachie Visitor Centre provides parking facilities, accessible trails, and serves as the primary starting point for exploring multiple hiking routes to the summit.
The mountain features distinct granite formations and exposed moorland paths, with a network of trails crossing through forest sections and past 19th-century settler ruins.
