Spectacularly situated right on top of steep cliffs rising from the North Sea, Slains Castle might not be beautiful in itself, but the setting and the atmosphere still make it a very special place.
This is actually New Slains Castle, after the Old Slains Castle was destroyed by James VI because the owner, the Earl of Erroll, had participated in a rebellion against him. It dates from the late 16th century, and although it now looks like it had different styles, most of the castle was actually constructed in a rather short time span. The castle also served as inspiration for Bram Stoker who got his inspiration for the castle of Count Dracula from Slains Castle. The main forte of the castle is of course its daring location right at the edge of high cliffs rising out of a wild sea. The strong wind and the choppy sea, the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and the screaming gulls, combined with the magnificent light of the late afternoon, made us enjoy the view and the spectacle before entering the castle itself.
