At various points on the route, the views of the north side of the Bennachie range are especially impressive. Along the way, there is some history to discover and speculate upon. The walk starts and ends at the Old Logie Graveyard, where the dominant feature is the Dalrymple Horn Elphinstone burial enclosure.

  • Dear Parent/Carer
    Education & Children’s Services Linda Evans Rector Inverurie Academy Jackson Street Inverurie AB51 3PX nd Tel. 01467 621655 2 October 2015 Fax 01467 624425 [email protected] Dear Parent/Carer SEVERE WEATHER ARRANGEMENTS As you know, the weather during winter can become severe quite suddenly. As a result of this, Aberdeenshire Council has clear policies and practices regarding snowstorm and other severe weather arrangements. This letter aims to outline our school procedures and includes a storm arrangements form which we would ask that you complete carefully and return by Friday 9th October 2015 1. SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS DURING SNOWSTORMS/SEVERE WEATHER If you live in an isolated location, and the weather is severe at the beginning of the day, it would be advisable for your child to remain at home for that day. On such occasions please phone and inform the school. If school transport is not running please do not bring your child to school. If you normally bring your child into school by car then you must come with your child to the School Office, so that we can advise you regarding the transport situation. In the past some pupils have been dropped off at school by parents/ carers who have then had to make a second journey immediately to collect pupils and take them home. 2. BUSES UNABLE TO REACH SCHOOL AFTER STARTING A JOURNEY The hirer will contact us. We will then attempt to contact those on the “priority calls” lists (as detailed further on in this letter), to let those involved know that their child/ward is coming home again.
