	Bennachie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bennachie, pronounced Ben-a-Hee, is the most northeasterly mountain in Aberdeenshire.
		It is traditionally claimed that Bennachie is Mons Graupius and that the Battle of Mons Graupius took place nearby.
		The whole Bennachie range is owned by the Forestry Commission, who maintain a car park and visitor centre at the northern foot of the mountain.

	Bennachie - Whitelums Limousin Cattle
		It has been suggested that the northern slopes of Bennachie was the Mons Graupius, where the Britons were crushingly defeated by the Roman legions, and that the name is the root of the modern term for the region - "Grampian".
		Some fourteen centuries later in 1411 the lands on the north side of the River Urie and between Bennachie and Inverurie were the setting for the Battle of Harlaw - a bloody conflict between Donald, Lord of the Isles, and Alexander, Earl of Mar (who was supported by the Provost and Baillies of Aberdeen).
		There are a number of walks up and across Bennachie from the four car parks provided around the hill’s perimeter ranging from a mere 1 km in length to a rather arduous 10 km.

		The hill is really a series of tops along a sprawling five kilometre ridge and although Oxen Craig is the highest point at 528 metres, the Mither tap is without doubt its crowning glory.
		Bennachie is a place with much to recommend it.
		It is possible that the local people sought refuge behind the fortifications of the Mither Tap but it would not be unreasonable to suppose that the superior technology of the invader would have eventually overcome the stone built defensive structure.

	Scotsman.com News - Scotland's holiday industry - £1m move to boost tourist high-points
		BENNACHIE, the hill which dominates the landscape of east Aberdeenshire, is to be protected and enhanced as one of the North-east of Scotland’s most popular visitor attractions in a £1 million initiative.
		And the £1 million funding initiative will be used to repair the existing network, construct new paths linking the main peaks and to upgrade the Bennachie visitor centre, which is home to the countryside rangers and the Baillies of Bennachie, the guardians of the historic hill.
		Mr Young said that many of the access routes on Bennachie had evolved over centuries and were now no longer able to cope with the number of visitors that climbed to the plateau each year.

		The basic types of the former are represented by the sills of epidiorite and hornblende gneiss in Glen Muick and Glen Callater, which have been permeated by granite and pegmatite in veins and lenticles, often foliated.
		The later granites subsequent to the plication of the schists have a wide distribution on the Ben Macdhui and Ben Avon range, and on Lochnagar; they stretch eastwards from Ballater by Tarland to Aberdeen and north to Bennachie.
		Where the schists of sedimentary origin have been pierced by these igneous intrusions, they are charged with contact minerals such as sillimanite, cordierite, kyanite and andalusite.
