Highland Cattle Drove 2021
Walk the Fungle!
On the 5th September 2021 club members and volunteers, supported by the Highland Cattle Society will walk part of an ancient drovers road through the hills in Aberdeenshire as part of a recreation of a drove of Highland Cattle and help raise funds for charity.
The distance is about 10K with a total climb of 300m
The event is being supported by the Highland Cattle Society, one of whose members is providing the cattle for the Drove as well as some experienced handlers.

JULY UPDATE:
Here is the advance party checking out the route.....
On Sunday 5th September a hardy group of travellers completed the Cattle drove in splendid weather, with great company and all for a good cause.
Whilst walking through the forest they were even surprised by a small group of well armed Jacobite raiders who held our esteemed fellow walkers, His Grace The Duke of Drumtochty and his friend The Most Hon. the Marquis of Monymusk to ransom. There were a few tense moments before the two aristocrats finally agreed in the interests of the safety of the walkers and cattle to hand over two purses of gold to enable the drove to pass through.
A huge thank you to eveyone involved!
