Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress built on a rocky headland in north east Scotland about 3kms south of Stonehaven.

Photography Tips

Although I wasn't able to be there in the morning, I think this would be an ideal time as the castle would be lit up with the warm glow of the early sun.

Similarly, sunset would provide dramatic light to silhouette the castle's outline.
