Bennachie is a rocky national park of mountains in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. There are mountains, including the highest called Oxen Crag, which is visible for miles. Rounded hills associated with female breasts, called Mither Tap ("Mother Top") and Bennachie ("Breast Hill"). There was a human active presence there from the Bronze Age, who regarded the site as a mystical gathering place. It's believed that the area was a battle ground for giants. A trace of this combat is found on a standing stone, with very large hand and foot prints. The name of one of the giants is Jock O' Noth as there are songs about him. There is also an old story about wicked fairies who upset ploughman in the region. Much of these legends were gathered in a travelogue by Alex Inkson McConnochie.
