Where History Meets the Hills

Tucked into the heart of Aberdeenshire, Insch is a welcoming village framed by the dramatic peaks of Bennachie and the Mither Tap, making it a great base for exploring both history and the outdoors.

Heritage & Landmarks

Climb Dunideer Hill to take in sweeping views of the countryside and explore the ruins of Dunideer Castle, thought to be one of Scotland’s earliest stone tower houses. Discover the village’s past at St Drostan’s Church and admire the nearby Picardy Stone, a striking Pictish standing stone with intricate carvings.

Outdoor Adventures

Enjoy a round at Insch Golf Club, a scenic parkland course set against rolling hills. Walkers and cyclists will find plenty of routes, including the Insch to Oyne cycle trail, which offers both heritage highlights and peaceful rural landscapes.
