Dunnottar Castle

Visited a friend in Stonehaven today. Went for a wander after lunch and took the Coastal path along to Dunnottar Castle.

Info taken from the castle website:-

William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II, all graced the Castle with their presence. Most famously though, it was at Dunnottar Castle that a small garrison held out against the might of Cromwell?s army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels, the ?Honours of Scotland?, from destruction. Crown, sceptre and sword now take pride of place in Edinburgh Castle.
