Blackburn
Aberdeenshire

A village in Aberdeenshire, Blackburn lies on the A96 road between Aberdeen and Kintore at its junction with the B979. The history and heritage of the area is reflected through the work of local and international sculptors whose work is on display in Kirkhill Forest to the east of Blackburn. Initiated in 1995 by Forest Enterprise, the Tyrebagger Sculpture Project takes its name from Tyrebagger Hill which rises to 250m (821 feet) in Kirkhill Forest.
