Dunnottar Castle

About Dunnottar Castle

Dunottar Castle is in the middle of nowhere and there are quite a few steps to climb, but if you are up for it, you will not be disappointed with these mysterious ruins on a cliff top overlooking the sea.

There are several different buildings to explore from the barracks to the keep, storehouses and stables, plus the chapel and drawing room, which are in a better condition. All are atmospheric and entertaining to explore plus make great models for kids who like photography or sketching.
