Rotten O'Gairn is a wood planted on the gentle slopes of Gairn Hill. The main tree species are beech, Scots pine, larch and spruce, though there are also other species present.
A waymarked circular walk leads out from the car park, and a waymarked horse route provides access to the northern part of this wood.
Rotten O'Gairn wood joins onto Countesswells wood, allowing longer walks for those with a keen sense of direction - or a map!

How to get there:
If driving on the A944, turn south along the unclassified road at the Kingswells roundabout, turn right at the T-junction, follow the road for roughly 2 km then the forest car park is sign posted on your right.
If you are driving on the A93, turn north along the unclassified road north at the junction beside Bieldside church, turn left at the T-junction, follow the road for roughly 1.5 km then the forest car park is sign posted on your right.
