About twelve miles from Banchory is the Bucket Mill. Here are still made the old type wooden pails etc., which have been in use for centuries past, as well as many other beautifully turned wooden articles. It is well worth a visit and is indeed a rarity. Here we begin to enter the hills again and the road climbs slowly still following the river line and ends as we approach Birse Castle where we take to the drive which is itself part of the Fungle Road.
