📌 Tarland, Aberdeenshire
★★
As the B9119 winds through the pass between Craiglich and Pressendye, a magnificent vista opens up over the fertile Howe of Cromar towards Lochnagar‘s often snowy coire. With both the twisting tarmac and the views to focus on, the brown tourist sign for Culsh Earth House is easily missed, but this site is worth a quick stop. A 2,000 year old passageway runs for 15 metres underneath the grass, and is a fine example of a souterrain – probably once used to store grain.
