Kincardineshire, also known as the Mearns (from Scottish Gaelic: A' Mhaoirne meaning "the Stewartry"), is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area on the coast of northeast Scotland. It is bounded by Aberdeenshire on the north and west, and by Angus on the south.The name "Kincardine" is also used in Kincardine and Mearns, a committee area of the Aberdeenshire Council, although this covers a smaller area than the county.

Drumtochty Forest is a coniferous woodland in Kincardineshire, Scotland. In earlier times this forest was associated with Drumtochty Castle. Other notable buildings in this part of the Mearns include Fasque House, Fetteresso Castle, and Muchalls Castle. Ian Maclaren mentions Drumtochty Forest in his bestseller book of stories "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush", a collection of tales of Rural Scotland, which shone light on the Scottish way of life.
