Walking from Stonehaven Village to Dunnottar Castle along the coastal trail was a very memorable walk for me, because it was our very first outing on our honeymoon, after being married two days earlier!
The walk was pleasant, relaxing, and not strenuous. There was a bit of a climb to get out of Stonehaven, and then we had a nice view looking down over the harbor:

Here's Laura along the trail, with the castle in the background.

The coastal peninsulas are quite dramatic, both for their greenery and for their steep drop-offs.
Once you get to Dunnottar's peninsula, there is a bit of a drop down into a col and a climb up the other side.
Approaching the castle
Once you arrive at the castle, you can spend a good part of a morning or afternoon exploring the buildings and grounds. There is an entry fee of a few pounds, but it's well worth the money for the time spent exploring some (more...)
