Turn off the main road, and take some time out to visit Lunan and the beach - its vast sands are quiet and offer a great chance to get away from the hurly burly.

Just outside the sleepy village itself, you will find the Red Castle. Now a ruin, the Red Castle has stood guard over the mouth of the Lunan Water since the days of William the Lion in the fifteenth Century.



(A day out I suggest is a walk at Lunan Bay in the morning, lunch at But 'n Ben's and then an afternoon visit to the House of Dun & Dunnottar Castle.)
