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.
This place has been a battleground for battles between Scots and English, with some ugly episodes. in 1297, William Wallace took Dunnottar Castle back for th Scots, burning an entire English garrison inside the chapel. More than just a fortification, the Scots built some of the most luxurious buildings around at that time, albeit in a very well defended place. Here was the last resort of the Scottish to hold against Cromwell in the 17th century, but when the latter took the castle, both the Crown Jewels and the royal papers had been smuggled out to a nearby parish church. Another notable moment came in 1685 when some 160 prisoners were held in one of the rooms.
