This was a castle I had wanted to visit for some time. I had seen photographs & wanted to experience it for myself. Dunnottar is not for the faint-hearted, the entrance being accessed by many steps, but it was well worth the effort. Standing proudly on its own, it is breathtakingly beautiful. It is easy to spend a few hours wandering around the ruins, learning its history, much of which you can imagine is quite bleak. The facilities are basic. There is a toilet & a kiosk to purchase drinks and snacks from and a decent car park. I do love Scottish castles, and this one is probably the best one I've visited so far. I can highly recommend a visit.

Amazing place, the views are outstanding and the history behind the castle is fascinating. Played a part in shaping Scotland. Throughly recommend a visit. Lovely walk from Stonehaven to it. There are a lot of steps down into the castle but a lovely beach at the bottom before you climb up into the castle itself.

This is my favourite castle in Scotland. I lost count of how many times I’ve visited, and each time is a different and unique experience. The castle is located by the coast, giving amazing, breathtaking views. It truly looks like a castle from a fairytale film (think Brave- the castle was definitely an inspiration!). There’s a car park (however during summer months it can be full!) and you don’t have to pay to look at the outside. If you want to go inside the ruins then there’s a charge of £10,50 (adult). The photos speak for itself but I do think this is a must see place in Scotland!

Great attraction steeped in history and stories. My visit was in late March, cold and windy. But with spectacular views all year round grab the right clothing and you'll be grand.

Such a beautiful castle in a frantic location. Was really easy to walk down to from the car park. The weather was grey and cold but this added to the atmosphere. The entry fee as well is such good value to be able to look around.
