Aerial photograph of Dunnotar Castle, near Stonehaven, by Edward Z Smith.
The L-plan keep on the landward part of the site was built during the late fourteenth century.
Some of the castle was destroyed in a siege by Cromwell's troops during 1651-2 and much of the remainder was demolished early in the eighteenth century.
