Outdoors With The Bailies
The Bailies of Bennachie want to help inspire young people to enjoy and appreciate the outdoor environment.
There is so much out there to explore and enjoy, and Bennachie's friendly giant, Jock o' Bennachie will help guide you as we look at the incredible biodiversity, history and landscape of the Aberdeenshire area.
Jock o' Bennachie and the Bailies have started with some fun summer activities and are developing further educational packages for schools to use. Using Bennachie as inspiration, we hope you enjoy and have fun with all these resources.

Let's Make Bennachie Litter Free!
Bennachie is a very special place - it’s beautiful and peaceful, and especially during the COVID 19 pandemic it has been a wonderful place for folks to enjoy. Never have we needed our outdoor spaces more.
