Tips

Caro "Bandit"

Dunnottar Woods is a beautiful forest at the outskirts of Stonehaven with lots of green and a flowing creek. The History Trail will take you through the deciduous woodlands of Dunnottar House. Explore its intriguing history at the Shell House, Lady Kennedy’s Bath and Gallow's Hill. And if you look a little closer to the ground, you might spot some tiny doors at old tree stumps. What mysterious creatures might live here?

Local woodland popular with dog walkers. There are a few trails and paths to follow through the wood, though nothing way marked. Easiest access is by parking in Stonehaven town centre and walking up to the woods. Those looking for a longer walk can walk through the woods and out the other side - where a country lane can be taken down to Dunnottar, and back to Stonehaven along the coastal path.
