Great viewpoint ruined castle right on the cliff edge. Some rooms still visible, but take care it's not an easy path and walls look cracked. Gives you a good insight into what it have been like to live in.

Really great! Reminds me a lot of the location and view of Dunnottar Castle. But here it is much quieter and free of charge

Hiking

A good size car park allows easy access to walk to the castle. From the top of the cliffs the castle can easily be seen, and a small path leads down to it. Some of the structure can be explored but being situated on the cliff it is rather dangerous. A good view not to be missed is going down to the small beach just below the castle.
