To reach it, park at the Bridge of Dye car park - on the right just before the bridge if you are coming from Fettercairn direction. On the OS map it's marked Spittal Cottage. Take the path through the kissing gate round to the left. It's a good walk down the track, on the right just before a small bridge over the Burn of Waterhead.
