Set on top of a cliff overlooking the mighty North Sea, Dunnottar castle is an unforgettable sight. 

This medieval fortress still has ruins dating back to the 15th century and today the keep, barracks, kitchen and dungeon can be seen.

Looking down from the cliff you will see sandy beaches either side of the castle and you can just imagine the times of pirates and Viking invasions of the 9th century.

During the Viking invasions parts of the castle were destroyed, however over the years the castle has had some very famous visitors including Mary Queen of Scots and William Wallace. The Scottish Crown Jewels (crown) were kept hidden here during the invasion by Oliver Cromwell.

In my eyes the castle has similarities to something you would see in Disney's "Brave", if you check one castle north of Edinburgh - make it this one.
