Dunnottar Castle & Stonehaven Cliff Walk

Clifftop Ruins and Harbor Town See medieval fortress ruins on a spectacular cliffside in the North Sea before visiting a pretty harbor town. Drive along the stunning coast to a rugged headland towering 160 feet above the North Sea. Amid dramatic scenery, a medieval fortress remains stands, one of the most striking destinations in Scotland. Dunnottar Castle dates back to the 13th century, with various buildings added over 500 years. As the former home of one of Scotland’s most powerful families, Earls Marischal, it played a crucial role in the country’s history for more than 1,000 years. Next, you will ascend the 1.5 mile trail along the cliff top, where you will admire views over the charming harbor town of Stonehaven. After a pause to rest and enjoy the views, follow the coastal path to the harbor where you will enjoy time to explore at your leisure, then return to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
