Old fingerpost On the B9120 at West Balhagarty on the route from the A92 to Laurencekirk is this fingerpost with KINCARDINE CC on the annulus. The main post may have been made at Stanton's foundry. The sign may have had at least one other finger and may be the only surviving fingerpost set up by the old Kincardine CC but now Aberdeenshire.

Den Finella viewed in a north-northeast direction from the A92 bridge This photo shows a north-northeast view of Den Finella, Aberdeenshire, as seen from the A92 road bridge. This part of the river valley is less deeply incised than on the seaward side of the bridge because the Den Finella waterfall has not yet cut back by headward erosion to form a gorge. This part of the river valley is still quite difficult to access and care must be taken on the steep slopes especially in wet conditions when the leaves have fallen. The number of dead trees and branches on both sides of the road bridge may indicate that lightning strikes are not uncommon in the vicinity of the bridge. Contrary to a popular belief, lightning can strike twice in the same spot or even more times. Notwithstanding this, simply crossing the often busy A92 from one side to the other is likely to present a greater hazard and risk to life. Because this part of the valley is typically regarded as being less spectacular than that on the seaward side of the bridge, it is less visited and less frequently photographed.
