Stonehaven/Dunnotar Castle

View of Dunnotar Castle from the Car Park
The Castle and Grounds
A few weeks ago, while Brandon's replacement was in town, we drove over to Stonehaven which is about 25 minutes from Aberdeen to take a look at the castle there. It was amazing! The wind was blowing like crazy and Adalyn and I decided to head back to the car after about 15 minutes of being out in the wind. It was blowing so hard, every time she tried to walk it looked like she was running! The castle and its out buildings all sit atop a cliff overlooking the North Sea. The ruins included a church, stables, and a distillery. It was amazing to see the architecture and details that the people took in to consideration so many years ago....and we think we're smart!!
