Findlater Castle (1)
This photo was taken on the coastal cliffs of Banffshire, a county now absorbed by its larger neighbours, Aberdeenshire and Morayshire. It looks out northwards over the Moray Firth, from a point a mile and three quarters east of Cullen and three miles west of Portsoy. The walls perched on the sides of the promontary belong to Findlater Castle - once a place of great strength - before the age of artillery, which would have completely dominated it from up here.
Although quite a remote spot, it is easy enough to access. Parking is provided at the farm of Barnyards of Findlater after which a good path leads to the cliff edge.
