Dunnottar cliff
Dunnottar Castle
a wee bit of history 4U... In 1651 Oliver Cromwell`s army besieged the castle. Dunnottar was eventually taken in 1652, but the royalists saved the crown jewels of Scotland by lowering them over the side of the cliff in a basket. The crown, sceptre and sword were likely collected by a woman pretending to gather seaweed, and stored within a fishing creel. The local minister then buried the `Honours of Scotland` in his churchyard until the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
Oh yeah... and when Mel Gibson played Hamlet there, it is rumoured that pamelaadam was lurking therabouts ;-)
