Drumtochty Car Park
Some of the trails in Fetteresso are closed for harvesting work. Signs tell you which routes are affected.
Built on the site of old forestry offices, this car park has toilets which are open in the summer, picnic tables, an open grassy area and an information board. A burn runs past the picnic area. Growing on the opposite side of the main road is the biggest Sitka spruce in Britain. There are three waymarked walks from this car park as well as the long distance route that runs through to Fetteresso.
