Dunnottar Castle
.
⚫It is a ruined medieval fortress located on the northeastern coast of Scotland.
⚫The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages.
⚫Dunnottar is best known as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell’s invading army in the 17th century.
⚫Dunnottar’s several buildings, put up between the 13th and 17th centuries, are arranged across a headland covering around 1.4 hectares.
⚫The dominant building, viewed from the land approach, is the 14th-century keep or tower house.
⚫The other principal buildings are the gatehouse; the chapel; and the 16th-century “palace” which incorporates the “Whigs’ Vault”.
