Dunbeath Village Road is truly the quintessential epitome of a quaint Scottish town. With classic stone houses/buildings with a rolling, dramatic green background, walking through Dunbeath is a walk into history.

Dunbeath also has a harbour that was built in the early 1800s to cash in on the boom in herring fishing. Up to 100 boats used to operate from the village. Dunbeath’s harbour is now much quieter but it does provide an excellent viewpoint for the prominent 15th century Dunbeath Castle that stands above cliffs on a peninsular to the south of the village looking like a white sentinel.
