Extract

The Bin and Clashindarroch Forests lie some 40 miles to the north-west of Aberdeen. Clashindarroch Forest, the larger of the two, stretches from the Rhynie-Cabrach road in the south almost to the Huntly–Glass road in the north. The Bogie valley in the east forms another rough boundary for the hill mass that the forest occupies. On the west the area marches with the county boundary. The Bin Forest consists of two main sections—the Bin itself to the north-west of Huntly, and the Balloch which lies between Keith and Grange, being partly in Banffshire. Both of these areas are more or less isolated hills.
