Dunnottar Castle, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire
Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. The Castle is probably the most dramatic historical site in Scotland: a formidable castle rock, surrounded on three sides by the North Sea and accessed by a narrow isthmus of land with a steep stone cut path leading to the top of the rock. For over 1000 years it played a crucial roll in Scottish history and has housed some of the nations greatest historical figures: Sigurd the Might, William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots and the Marquis of Montrose.
