Stonehaven

Posted by Kalie on October 19, 2009

On October 10, I took a day trip to Stonehaven with four friends.  Stonehaven is a fishing community about 15 miles south of Aberdeen.  We arrived early on the drizzly morning.  Not letting the rain stop us, we hiked 1.5 miles to the famous Dunnottar Castle ruins, dating back to the 13th century.  It was a gorgeous trail along the coastline, even on a foggy day.  The castle grounds were neat to see, with a lot of buildings still fully in tact.  After an hour of exploring the grounds, we were all a bit hungry and decided to head back into the town.  At this point I was really missing the wellies that I left back home; water had seeped through my tennis shoes and my socks were completely soaked!  They dried out a little while we ate lunch, but I wasn’t completely satisfied until I was back at my flat a few hours later with my dry, warm fuzzy socks on and a cup of hot chocolate. 🙂

Cheers!
