Dusk, Bennachie

Mither Tap from one of the tors on Little John's Length.

 

"BENNACHIE FOKELORE"

The two small tors are known as Little John’s Length, but this John, or Jock, was a giant, and this was his bed.

Jock o’ Bennachie was one of the ancient inhabitants of Aberdeenshire who had retreated to the top of the hill when new tribes were moving in.

But Jock was not alone, there were other giants living on the hills of Donside, including his great rival in love, Jock o’Noth, who lived on Tap o’Noth, the hill above the village of Rhynie.
