Situated by the sea, 15 mile south of Aberdeen, Stonehaven is fast becoming one of Scotland's most popular coastal towns and plays an important role in attracting visitors to the Aberdeen City and Shire region of Scotland. Originally a fishing village built around the High Street, Stonehaven has grown to a population of around 11,000. The sense of history, with the impressive ruined fortress of Dunnottar Castle, the awe inspiring views of the sea and harbour, the friendliness of the local people, combine to make Stonehaven special and a must visit town when touring the North East of Scotland.
