SCOTLAND STONEHAVEN HARBOUR AND AREA.
Stonehaven Harbour area. I took my ships radio exam here around 9 years ago !
Memories.
The harbour is lovely, and even better on a sunny day. The kids are learning sailing, and around here, there are much worse things they could be doing !
Stonehaven is in Aberdeenshire and has the UKs best rated Fish and Chip shop, and the most magnificent Ice Cream Parlour..
I you are ever near Stonehaven you must go to Auntie Betty's there.
Visit Auntie Betty's on the Stonehaven Promenade and enjoy the delicious ice cream, ice cream cakes, sweeties and coffee..
I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT EVERYTHING THEY SELL IS CHOLESTEROL, FAT AND SUGAR FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a video about the Town of Stonehaven on the Northeast coast of Scotland. Stonehaven is a pretty harbour town south of Aberdeen, famous for its Hogmanay fireballs ceremony. Attractive Stonehaven has a sheltered working harbour busy with sailing yachts. Stonehaven Tolbooth Museum is a notable building on the quayside, and has a fascinating history as a former courthouse and jail. Perched on high cliffs jutting out into the waves two miles to the south is the dramatic ruined Dunnottar Castle, one of the finest in Scotland. Learn about its bloody history or just take in the view.
After the demise of the town of Kincardine, which was gradually abandoned after the destruction of its royal castle in the Wars of Independence, the Scottish Parliament made Stonehaven the successor county town of Kincardineshire. Stonehaven had grown around an Iron Age fishing village, now the Auld Toon (old town), and expanded inland from the seaside. As late as the 16th century, old maps indicate the town was called Stonehyve, Stonehive, Pont also adding the alternative Duniness.[2] It is known informally to locals as Stoney.
Dunnottar Castle is a dramatic and evocative ruined cliff top fortress was the home of the Earls Marischal, once one of the most powerful families in Scotland. Steeped in history, this romantic and haunting ruin is a photographer’s paradise, a history lover’s dream and an iconic tourist destination for visitors the world over. Visit Dunnottar Castle for your own unforgettable experience and discover the importance of Dunnottar – an impregnable fortress that holds many rich secrets of Scotland’s colourful past. Stonehaven and Dunnottar Castle is situated about 100 miles north of Edinburgh Castle, to if you are visiting the capital, be sure to visit Stonehaven and Dunnottar Castle.
Stonehaven Golf Club was founded on Friday, April 13, 1888, and the first clubhouse was opened in June 1889. The original chimney stack still stands by the 7th tee. At that time, the course had ten holes, reduced to nine a year later, and it was not until July 7, 1897 , that the “new” course and clubhouse on the present site was opened. For a short time, the professional was George Duncan, who later won the Open Championship in 1920 and who played three times in the Ryder Cup team, being winning captain in 1929.
Also to grace the fairways was another, (5 times) Open champion, the legendary James Braid, who played a challenge match on August 18, 1906 , against his nephew and twice Open Championship runner-up Archie Simpson, the professional at Royal Aberdeen. Afterwards, Braid and Simpson planned improvements to the course. A much less welcome visitor called in August, 1940, when a German aircraft, fleeing home after a raid, dropped a bomb on the course only a hundred yards or so from the clubhouse. The crater it left, known as Hitler’s Bunker, remains clearly visible today -- and very much in play between the first and second fairways.
A son of Stonehaven. The pneumatic tyre was in fact patented by one of Scotland’s most prolific, but now largely forgotten, inventors, Robert William Thomson on 10 December 1845, some 43 years before John Dunlop’s re-invention. Thomson’s “Aerial Wheels” were subsequently demonstrated in Regents Park London in 1847 and proved to all present that they could both reduce noise and improve passenger comfort.
Robert was born in Stonehaven, on Scotland’s north east coast in 1822; he was the son of a local woollen mill owner and was the eleventh of twelve children. Originally destined for the ministry, he apparently had great difficulty coming to terms with Latin, and was therefore forced to consider an alternative career route.
A bronze plaque that commemorates the anniversary of Robert Thomson’s birth can now be found on a building to the south side of Stonehaven’s Market Square. Each year in June, vintage vehicle owners and their machines gather for a Sunday rally in honour of the great man.

The Bay Fish and Chips - Stonehaven
The Bay are the winners of the National Fish and Chip Awards - Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year 2013!!
What a beautifully located Fish and Chip shop with a view overlooking the rough waves of the North Sea!
This is very apt considering their love for not just the Bay but the industry as a whole. The Bay puts a high emphasis on local, sustainable, ethical produce thus supporting the local economy. We were shown just how much the Bay considers the environment, all packaging is compostable where possible and this is in addition to an Enjo chemical free cleaning system making the shop environmentally friendly and aqua friendly!
The Bay puts emphasis on the staff sourcing the least adulterated prepared foods that we can eat; wild caught fish, freshly harvested potatoes, some flour for batter, and oil for the cooking medium, and all cooked with care and attention, skill and expertise to produce a tasty and nutritious meal.
Plain and simple ... how many other takeaway foods can ever say that about themselves?
