About Peter Hill
The walk up Peter Hill near Banchory is straightforward enough, but the views from the summit make it feel like proper work has been done. You're looking out over Royal Deeside and into the Cairngorms from up here - not dramatic peaks, but wide, rolling country that stretches for miles on a clear day.
It's the kind of walk that suits families with decent legs and anyone who wants a hill day without the scrambling or exposure. Two hours there and back if you're not dawdling, though the actual time depends on your fitness and how many times you stop to admire things. The path itself is well-trodden and manageable year-round, though winter brings the usual Scottish Highland complications.
If you're camping at Feughside Caravan Park or Glen Dye Cabins, this makes an easy morning or afternoon outing. Banchory sits right at the entrance to Deeside, so you're positioned well for exploring the valley's other walks and attractions without needing to drive far. The town itself has shops and cafés if you need to sort supplies before heading out.
Worth doing? Yes, if you're in the area. It's not going to stop you in your tracks, but it's a solid hill with proper views and no faffing about. The walk rewards you for the climb without making you feel like you've earned serious mountaineering credentials. Free, obviously - it's a hill.
