Elsick Mounth

The Elsick Mounth is an ancient trackway crossing the Grampian Mountains in the vicinity of Netherley, Scotland.

This trackway was one of the few means of traversing the Grampian Mounth area in prehistoric and medieval times.

[2] Notable historical structures in the vicinity are Maryculter House, Lairhillock Inn and Muchalls Castle.

[3] Roman legions marched from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp (now just south of Peterculter) as they sought higher ground so as to avoid the bogs of Red Moss and other low-lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls.

That march used the Elsick Mounth, one of the ancient trackways crossing the Grampian Mountains,[3] lying west of Netherley.
