Fields above Strichen As usual in these parts, field boundaries are barbed wire fences. The road sign warns of the steep descent and bends required to get under the Formartine and Buchan Railway, now a path.

Formartine and Buchan Railway Snow lingers in a deep cutting on the Fraserburgh Branch east of Strichen. The railway closed to passengers in 1965 but the line to Fraserburgh hung on as a freight service until 1979 due mainly to the oil industry. It is now a footpath and cycle path.

Strichen House Recumbent Stone Circle (1) This circle is a reconstruction. After a tenant farmer cleared it in 1830, the furious landlord made him rebuild it, but it was rebuilt in slightly the wrong place. This was completely removed in 1960. In 1979-1982 an archaeological investigation was undertaken, during which the correct positions of the stones were determined, and the circle was rebuilt on that basis. There are, however, some remaining anomalies in the alignment of some of the stones.
