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.
From this vantage point, it was easy to see why this particular location was chosen for Dunnottar Castle. Steep cliffs rising from a transparent sea, forming a small islet, with on only one, narrow side a rocky link to the mainland. A stair takes you up to the main gate, which was easy to defend, after which you enter the castle complex. This is an old castle on a location with superb defensive qualities where, probably more than 2,000 years, fortifications have stood. It is claimed that the name dun is derived from Pictish, meaning fort. It is easy to spend a few hours exploring the ruins of the castle, with great seaside views on almost all sides.
