Banchory-Devenick (Scottish Gaelic: Beannchar Dòmhnaig[1]) is a hamlet approximately two kilometres south of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland in the Lower Deeside area of Aberdeenshire.

[3] The hamlet of Banchory-Devenick is on the B9077 road, and the ancient Causey Mounth passes directly through it.

[4] Other historic features in the vicinity include Saint Ternan's Church, Muchalls Castle and the Lairhillock Inn.

Banchory-Devenick is located along the Causey Mounth trackway, which road was constructed on high ground to make passable this only available medieval route from coastal points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen.
