Bennachie is a prominent hill range in Aberdeenshire with the highest peak, Oxen Craig at 529m, and the most iconic peak, the Mither Tap, at 518m. It can be seen from the North Sea and the panorama from the tops includes much of Donside, Deeside and the Cairngorms, together with the hills and mountains into Morayshire to the north and the Aberdeenshire coast to the east.  

Take a tour round the Bennachie Visitor Centre which lies at the foot of North-East Scotland's most prominent landmark.

Here you'll discover that it is much more than just a hill.
It's a beautiful, tranquil, exciting, magical place that promises a great day out.

The Bennachie Centre Trust is a voluntary organisation and registered charity (SCO 25431). Supported by its partners, it is responsible for the management, internal maintenance and development of the public spaces within the Bennachie Visitor Centre. 

We rely on your generous donations to keep the centre open, relevant and to provide the best visitor experience possible. Please consider donating when you visit the free to access centre or you can donate here.
