Peterhead周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Dunbuy Island, known for its distinctive arch, is an outcrop of Peterhead pluton (granite) formed approximately 419 to 444 million years ago in the Silurian Period when Scotland lay south of the equator.

The Old Parish Church, also known as Muckle Kirk, stands as a Category A listed church. Local builders, Robert and John Mitchell, undertook the construction of the church from 1804 to 1806, based on a design by Alexander Laing of Edinburgh. The church proudly houses the historic Burgerhuys bell, dating back to 1647.

You can watch sea birds swooping in and out of the cave and see waves washing through. Look out for seals too.

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.

There is some free on street parking and a nice walk to Slains Castle

What a magnificent coast - well worth a stop

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.

Along the Buchan coastal path, this can be spotted walking north from the Longhaven national nature reserve car park. Below is a bolted crag for sport climbing.
