The Gordon Way is a waymarked hiking trail in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It runs for 11+1⁄2 miles (18.5 km)[1] through the Bennachie Forest. The route was one of a series maintained by the Forestry Commission and Aberdeenshire Council. In 2016, the council withdrew completely from its maintaining the route (a cost of £9,486 per year) due to budgetary constraints.[2]
