Bullers of Buchan
Bullers of Buchan is a rocky chasm 230ft/70m deep (7mi/12.6km to the south of Peterhead). Thought to be a cave that collapsed, this open-air bubbling cauldron makes a spectacular sight particularly when the sea is rough (cliff footpath from the parking lot).

Slains Castle
The writer Samuel Johnson wrote that Slains Castle - built in the 16th century and extended in the 19th century - was the most beautiful castle that he had ever seen. Now sadly it is just a ruin perched on a steep rock. Another writer, Bram Stoker, visited the castle when it was still intact and the home of the 19th Earl of Errol. It provided him with the inspiration for his legendary Count Dracula story.
