Dunnideer, an isolated hill in Insch parish, Aberdeenshire, 1¼ mile W of Insch village. Separated only by the narrow vale of the Shevock rivulet from Christ's Kirk Hill (1020 feet) in Kennethmont parish, and standing nearly in a line with the W end of Foudland (1529) 3¼ miles to the N, it rises abruptly in the form of a cone, a little flattened at the top, to a height of 876 feet above sea-level, or 470 above the village. It is crowned by remains of a vitrified fort, and by the fragment of an ancient tower, with walls 7 feet thick and from 50 to 60 feet high, variously alleged to have been built either by Grig or Girig, King of the Picts, or by David, Earl of Huntingdon.
