DUNNOTTAR CASTLE: A dramatic and evocative ruined cliff top fortress in a truly stunning setting (except for fog). From the keep through the barraks, lodgings, stables and storehouses to the less-ruinous chapel and dining room- an impregnable castle that holds many rich secrets of Scotland's colourful past, helping to bring history alive. William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Mongtrose and the futgure King Charles II, all graced the castle with their presence. A small garrison hel out against the might of Cromwell's army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels and the honours of Scotland from destruction.
