Although this medieval castle is partially ruined, it still holds many rich secrets of Scotland's colorful past. Today, what's left of the most recent 15th and 16th century-built structure looks like something out of a fantasy novel. Capture the eroding exterior atop a scenic hill overlooking a wavy bay and you'll be able to create a majestic, one-of-a-kind image.

This drone image of the Dunnottar Castle, walking path and Old Hall Bay was taken from the side of the grassy field before the entrance to the castle. To get this perspective, park at the public parking (56.945246, -2.205594) and then stand near the foot of the walking path so that you're able to incorporate it in your photo.
