📌 Nigg, Aberdeen City
★★
Kincorth Hill forms the highest point on the broad ridge rubbing up against Aberdeen‘s southern suburbs. The summit area protrudes just enough above scrubby gorse and broom to allow decent views over the city and lower Deeside. There’s a dense network of paths from various access points, but the route outlined here makes a logical circuit with space to park at the start.
