The castle is perched on cliffs overhanging the North Sea and provides stunning views. The best way to get there for adventurous folk is the mile-long hike from the town of Stonehaven. The hike is a narrow path along the cliffs that provides stunning views the entire way. Definitely a must-see.</see>

 * '''Stonehaven Harbour''' - The harbour forms what I would call the town center. There is a collection of local pubs and restaurants, though as it is a small town, we are talking about maybe 4 or 5 places. However, having a pint at a table overlooking the harbor and hanging with locals is a great experience. This town is very small, and in the town there are very few travelers, so it is a great chance to meet and talk to locals.

-* Can't go wrong at the local pubs..but best avoid the 'Market Bar' in the Market Square. The pub is a well known haunt for the locally unemployed who tend to be very nationalistic in their bigoted ways. Usually they will be found lurking between the pub and William Hill the bookmakers while we are working to pay their dole money. Special mention to Fish, Bean, Bobby Brown and the rest of the 'Stonehaven Loyal' who will be most acommodating to demonstrate to you their bigoted and racist mindset.
