Huge beautiful castle ruins! It was an easy 20 minute walk from the bus station. There is nobody working there you just come and go as you please. It’s right on the edge of the cliffs so use common sense while exploring. Definitely worth the trip to Peterhead!

The castle is in ruins but you're allowed full access, and parking, for free. More of a residential castle vs a fortress but still really cool. Well worth going to. No bathrooms or staff on site but access is allowed. Lots of birds along the cliff.

What a wonderful day for a walk from Cruden Bay up to Slaines Castle. Take a picnic with you and experience the atmosphere of this beautiful ruin sitting atop this rugged promontory with the waves washing onto the jagged rocks below. The sound the crashing waves and the calls of the seabirds is so relaxing.

I am honestly embarrassed that I have lived in the North East of Scotland for over 40 years and I have never visited before. We had a cracking day of weather in May. There was a warm breeze and the Flora and fauna was out. Dramatic and a fun spot to visit on a bright, sunshiny day. I would definitely recommend stopping by for the dramatic photo or two. No facilities & keep your dog on a lead - to avoid loosing them down a cliff

Intriguing castle ruins. Be sure that you keep little ones close as I did feel it was a bit unsafe for my very active 5 year old boy. I enjoyed the walk to and from the ruins which is about 15 mins.
