Although I had seen pictures and generally knew what I was going to see, Dunnottar Castle (pronounced “duh-NOTE-er”) really grabbed me.  It is ruins now but enough is there to spark your imagination to marvel at this castle built on a rocky cliff plateu overlooking the North Sea.

There’s only one path up (good for defense, of course).  We climbed the tower stairs and were treated to more amazing views.  Further on the other side of the hill are more buildings where nobility lived.

I will definitely be posting more pictures of Dunnottar Castle again soon.
