Not to be missed Dunnotter castle and cliff top walk
If you are passing Stonehaven you should not miss a visit to Dunnotter castle and the cliff top path to the war memorial. The castle is open all year round and dogs are allowed in on a lead. From the castle there is an excellent cliff top path along to the war memorial with fantastic coastal views. There is a coffee van at the castle car park which also sell ice cream. This is a very popular world tourist attraction and you will meet many people from all around the world also visiting.
