Dunnottar Castle

"this castle is amazing!! there was a lot more to see than I expected. the views looking out to sea are incredible! there's a lot of steps up and down, so it's definitely not accessible at all, but if you can do the stairs I'd definitely recommend you visit!"

"Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven is quite possibly one of my favourite castles in Scotland. I’ve made the trip several times from Newport as it is not very far from our family home. It takes a bit of walking to get from the car park to the castle and also to walk around the outside and inside of the castle. I cannot stress this enough. The views are stunning. Since I’ve toured inside the castle before, I like walking up to the castle and exploring the grounds. You simply can not take a bad picture at this castle with the views of the North Sea, the dramatic cliffs and the overall topography. The flora, fauna, waterfalls and soaring and perching birds makes this castle a photographer’s dream. Tourists usually explore the West side of Scotland and then miss the stunning, impressive and breathtaking cliffs of the Aberdeenshire Coastal Trails. If you’re looking for unforgettable and romantic castles that you will never, ever forget, this is the castle for you!"

"What an amazing piece of Scottish history...outstanding. Great to finally get into it and see around the grounds. Also great to see 8t really busy with tourists. £9.50 for adults and £4.50 for kids aged 5-15... Well worth the money...the views are pretty spectacular also."

"Beautiful location that is dog friendly (on short leads). It's a good 10 min walk from the car park to the castle down some steps, . I'm not overly fit and managed it. Just go at your own pace and plenty of opportunity to sit and move out of people's ways, and well worth it. Lovely views from the keep, and very well laid out with just enough information to learn. Staff very friendly and helpful."

"Incredible views, really interesting half derelict castle, well worth the walk down and up a load of stairs. We happened to go as part of the Visit Scotland initiative so it was only £3.50 each (student half price) - well worth it. Go on a good weather day, or wear appropriate clothing because it is very exposed with no shelter."
