If you have romantic ideas about a desolate castle on high cliffs, Dunnottar might be just it. An easy walk from Stonehaven takes you to this dramatic place on the Scottish coast.
I arrived in a dense fog in Stonehaven, and postponed my plans for a walk to Dunnottar Castle, even though I desperately wanted to visit the place. When there was a slight hint that the fog might be lifting, I set off, hoping for nice views of the castle. After a brief visit to the War Memorial, I continued for Dunnottar Castle, the contours of which appeared above the fields. From here, it looked quite big. A half hour leisurely walk later, I stood right across the cliff on the top of which Dunnottar Castle was built. From here, the shril sound of sea gulls flying all around accompanied me during my entire visit of the castle.
