golux visited on 10th Oct 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 There is a sign-posted footpath to the stones, beginning at a gate into woodland on the north side of Dunnideer Hill on Western Road. Follow the "Dunnydeer" (sic) signs from the centre of Insch, past the lay-by for Dunnideer Hill (1.5km from centre) to a parking bay on the left side 2km from the centre. N.B. The stones are obscured by low hanging foliage except when the trees are bare.
