The peninsula that Dunnottar Castle sits on is such a natural stronghold that there is evidence of use for over 5000 years. The stone building remains that can still be seen date back to the late 1200's.
The castle is a paid entry attraction, but it is worth a visit and quite amazing inside. You can also get great views of the castle from the beaches and cliff tops on either side, so you don't have to pay and it's still a very interesting walk past.

The sight of Dunnottar Castle is simply impressive: The castle ruins are enthroned on a high cliff that juts out into the sea like an island. You can reach and visit the castle ruins via a hiking trail and several steps.
The castle is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. in summer. Opening times vary in winter. You can find more detailed information on the website dunnottarcastle.co.uk.
