Cairn O’Mount
The scenic and winding road takes us through National Forestry Woodlands to heath land and heather covered hillsides. We like to call it our highlands in miniature as it offers similar landscapes and views only on a smaller scale.

Dunnottar Castle
Easily one of Aberdeenshire's most iconic castles, Dunnottar is an impressive site. For over 1000 years Dunnottar Castle played a crucial role in Scottish history. The Castle played host to several of the nation's historical figures including its role in saving the Honours of Scotland from Oliver Cromwell's army.

There are a lot of steps/stairs up to the castle, so this is not suitable for people who have mobility issues. There are some wonderful photo opportunities along the coastal path and a great walk over to the war memorial on Black Hill above Stonehaven. (Entry into the castle is an optional extra)
