17의 Peterhead가지 명소 & 주요 장소

브램 스토커는 크루든 베이와 뉴 슬레인 성 주변에서 많은 시간을 보냈습니다. 그는 이곳에서 유명한 책 드라큘라의 영감을 얻었습니다. 🧛‍♂️ 절벽 꼭대기를 따라 걷는 멋진 산책길이므로 크루든 베이에서 접근하는 것을 추천합니다.

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.

A picturesque stretch of the coastal path between Slains Castle and Dunbuy Island. Rocky coves and swooping seabirds galore.

The first building on the site of New Slains Castle was constructed for Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll, following the destruction of the original Slains Castle. Named Bowness, it was located on a sea cliff close to what is now the village of Cruden Bay. Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll, a convert to Roman Catholicism, had conspired with other Catholic nobles, including the Earl of Huntly, with whom he joined in a brief rebellion in 1589. Erroll was also a signatory of the "Spanish Blanks", documents signed by members of the Catholic nobility of Scotland, and otherwise left to be filled in with the terms of Spanish aid. Erroll was declared a traitor in 1594, and Old Slains Castle was destroyed on the orders of King James VI. After a period abroad Erroll returned to Scotland, and abjured Roman Catholicism in 1597, subsequently returning to royal favour. He abandoned Old Slains and built a courtyard and square tower on the present site, around 1600.

Surprised at how open to the public this is given its proximity to the cliff edge and how perilously perched one of the rooms is over the water below. I'm usually one to scoff/rail at over-eager H&S regs but in this case, I reckon closing off at least part of the castle might be in order. A fence at/around the headland wouldn't go amiss either. Approach at your own risk!

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.

Free parking lot for hikers right on the street

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