We absolutely love visiting Stonehaven and its picturesque harbour. We typically park at the harbour, where parking is limited but free, so it's best to arrive early, especially on sunny days. If you walk around the harbour, there's a path that leads up to Dunnotar Castle, offering a fantastic view of the harbour from the top. Back at the harbour, you can enjoy a well-deserved coffee or beer at one of the pubs, though we usually opt for the coffee shop. There's also an intriguing museum at the harbour. The harbour itself features a lovely sandy beach, which is popular with families with young children. It's definitely one of my favourite spots in Scotland.
