From the Huntly Square head east down Duke Street onto Bogie Street and across the Bogie Bridge. (1)
After passing under the railway bridge walk up the hill and take the road on the left opposite the train station car park. (2)
Carry on along this road. It soon becomes a track alongside the railway for 1km, until slowly climbing up into Kinnoir Woods. (3) Once you reach the junction, (4) take a right and head uphill, then take the next left (5) through the gate and follow this road through the woods for 3km skirting around the Hill of Mungo.
When arriving at the next junction take the right-hand road (6) heading uphill and follow this for 2km until reaching a junction just after another gate. (7) Here you can take the right and return the same way along the railway to Huntly.
Alternatively, go left and carry on along the road until going right just before the house into a field. (8) Carry on along the fence line heading towards the wooded area of Battle Hill. (9) Here a fence needs to be crossed into Battle Hill. You can go either way here as they both link back to the Battle Hill main car park. Once at the entrance to Battle Hill head down through the car park and take a right when reaching the main road and return to The Square.
