Rabbit damage on tree branches.
The bark has been stripped off this branch, this isn’t a problem in this case as the branch had fallen from a tree anyway, but they can strip them from living trees and then it can be a problem.

At the next junction you go straight ahead.
Cotton Wood is to the left if you want to investigate it.
Otherwise go straight on.

As you can see, the walk is very popular, and not only with the locals.
Strange thing is you don’t meet that many people when walking as they are well spread out.

Here is evidence of grander times of the estate.
A path has steps here going through a wall, but beyond this there is no sign of where the path went.
It has been reclaimed by the woodland.

The first obstacle so far, a gate blocks the road.
This is where the road crosses a field.
Be careful here as there may be livestock in the field, so make sure you close the gate.

A polite reminder.
Please do so and not spoil it for others by leaving it open.
I have seen this happen elsewhere, it always ends with the gate being padlocked shut and people having to climb over it.

First half of the field proves hard going due to the snow.

Second half is easier going as there is some shelter from the trees.
Nearing the end of the field now, we will soon be on to a good road again.

The other gate to the field, it looks as if you are going into someone’s garden or yard.
There is a road through there, so don’t worry about it.

A sign to remind everyone it is an estate you are walking through.

As you walk past the house the road ahead goes to Burnhervie.
You do not take this road, you turn right and go down the road towards the Shakin’ Brig.

This is a surfaced road again so the walking is easier.

Crossing a small bridge, take a look over the side.

Do you think there was once a Mill or something here?

Continue down to the Shakin’ Brig.
Though it has been replaced by a new one that doesn’t shake anymore!

Cross the bridge to the other side.



Why do people have to spray paint on things?

At the top of the steep narrow path, turn right and walk along the surfaced road.

Looking down from the road I could see two Swans and Ducks struggling against the strong current of the River Don.  
The river will now be on your right with some good views of it as you walk along the surfaced road back towards Kemnay.
