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.
There is no real inside of the castle, since there are no roofs left. Together with the sounds and the views of the surroundings, it only adds to the eerieness of the castle. We walked up the round tower of the castle, with great views over the sea and the landscape, and explored the areas that once were halls and rooms in a very large castle. We moved to the other side of the castle, and saw the sun going down much earlier than we expected. Once again, we saw the contours of the castle, turning always darker, and eventually, as the sun cast its last rays of light around Slains Castle, we could only discern the outline of the towers and the outer walls. We left just in time to walk back to Cruden Bay village before darkness had completely fallen.
