True to its Gaelic name, Achadh nam Blàth, meaning ‘Field of Flowers’, Auchenblae is home to vast coniferous woodlands dotted with a dazzling array of wildflowers. A spot for nature lovers, Auchenblae is tucked away within Kincardine and Mearns, at the edge of Drumtochty’s broody forest. A gentle stream runs through it, punctuating the serene silence of the conifer canopy.
In the distance, look out for the historic parish church. There, you’ll find a memorial to Scotland’s first Protestant martyr, George Wishart, who was burnt at the stake under the orders of Cardinal Beaton in St Andrews.
Once home to a revered whisky distillery and weavers, Auchenblae was immortalised in Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic novel ‘Sunset Song.’
