Ford at a ford (Burn of Brooky) From my trip to Scotland in July 1974. I then drove a Ford 12m (German production), scrapped long time ago.
The ford is near Glen Dye on the B974 Banchory to Fettercairn road. At a junction, a minor road (Old Military Road) turns North-west and crosses the Burn of Brooky.
