Drumtochty Forest is a coniferous woodland in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] In earlier times this forest was associated with Drumtochty Castle. Other notable buildings in this part of Aberdeenshire include Fasque House, Fetteresso Castle, and Muchalls Castle. The Drumtochy Forest is in a relatively secluded area, where the railway was not able to pass through.[2]
Ian Maclaren mentions the Drumtochty Forest in his book "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush",[3] a collection of tales of Rural Scotland, which shone light on the Scottish way of life.
