Dunnottar seen from the rocky beach, a hundred feet below the cliffs
We always seemed to visit these clifftop towers when tide was out. Like Tantallon Castle, the waves would crash against the cliffs at high tide. It must be spectacular. The beach below the castle is rocky and barren, but the access through the caves would have given the castle inhabitants a way to get supplies, I think.
Nearby shoreline is inhospitable and rocky
