It has become obvious to the Bailies that projects are required across the hill to improve the visitor experience.

The Bailies will always use its resources for the good of the hill in the form of continual maintenance or one-off projects. The Bennachie Visitor Centre was a project the Bailies were involved with in the mid-1990s. Our ambition to take on larger projects is growing. See details of some of our recent and ongoing projects below. We are always open to new ideas.

During a meeting with FLS in early 2024 they made us aware of community funded path upgrade projects that are being done across the country. Following this, we set up a subgroup that started looking at options of path upgrade projects. This soon developed into a group looking at projects required to improve the hill, mainly for visitors. This group then produced many project ideas including but not limited to path upgrades, toilet buildings improvement and litter bin stores.

These projects were then ranked by importance, including various criteria such as benefit to the hill, the number of visitors that would benefit, local residents benefit and environmental improvement.  Each year the subgroup will review the projects and will include new projects that are proposed. They will then select which projects they believe should be progressed in the following year. Consequently, they will be reviewed by the full committee of trustees at the business budget meeting and agreed or otherwise to progress.
