Dunnottar Castle, Scotland ⠀ In the past, Dunnothar was one of Scotland's most impregnable castles, but not at the expense of thick walls, but due to the fact that it stands on top of a high cliff and is almost completely surrounded by the waters of the North Sea. It was possible to get inside only through the gate, sandwiched in the crevice of the rock. ⠀ Today, Dunnottar Castle is in a dilapidated condition and is the property of the Koudrey family. It is very popular with tourists and is considered to be hardly the most visited attraction in Scotland. ⠀ Today we have an unusual top, namely the TOP-5 castles of Scotland, which are worth a visit: ⠀ 1. Glamis Castle. It was built in the 15th century and was originally conceived as a hunting lodge of the royal family. Later it was completed. The large-scale building is surrounded by Dutch and Italian gardens with shady alleys and beautiful rose flower gardens. 2. Dunnottar (pictured).
