Aberdeen; Friday, 20 January, 2012

Up earlier than the previous day and down to the bus station to catch the bus out to Stonehaven and then onto the ruins of Dunnottar castle.

The ruins are pretty impressive standing on a rocky crag overlooking a picturesque bay and looking out to the North Sea. Today it was benign, calm and in the hazy sun looked almost Mediterranean, though it being the North Sea in January clearly freezing cold.

I spent a long time wandering around the castle and then took the costal path back along the cliffs towards Stonehaven, stopping off outside the town to take in the impressive war memorial that stands on a hill overlooking the harbour.

I continued walking down into town and had a wander around the harbour and town, before heading back to the bus stop to get the bus back into Aberdeen.

I had a wander around the city centre before heading for a bite to eat and then an early night, ready for an early start the following morning
