Dunottar sits 160 feet above the sea and is guarded on three sides by the North Sea and on the forth by St. Ninian's Den, a deep ravine. It dates from the 13th century.
Mary Queen of Scots, William Wallace,the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II all stayed at this castle. Cromwell attacked the castle for 8 months in 1652, hoping to get Scotland's crown jewels, which included the septre, crown and sword.
The wife of the minister of Kinneff Church smuggled the crown jewels out under the very noses of the troops.
