A good size car park provides access to the Bullers. It is then a short walk along the sea cliffs to see the rock formations. Many sea birds can be seen from here, including Puffins in the spring / early summer.

Hiking

The Bullers of Buchan are a geological coastal feature. It is possible to spot puffins here in early summer. You can combine this with a walk along the dramatic sea cliffs to the north towards Boddam and Peterhead. Or head south towards Slain's Castle and Cruden Bay.
