Dunnottar Castle

Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval Scottish fortress located upon a rocky headland on the northeastern coast of Scotland, near Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages. Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite risings because of its strategic location and defensive strength. Wikipedia

It is a ruin now but you can see why it was difficult to attack. We spent some lovely time here and got to see humpback whales playing nearby in the North Sea.
