Stonehaven is a town that lies on the northeast coast of Scotland nearby the city of Aberdeen. Stonehaven has a population of around 12.000. It's a very popular tourist location with campsites, sports and activities centres, parks, restaurants, shops and incredible nearby landmarks such as Dunnottar Castle and the Memorial. You can also visit the nearby salmon jump in Banchory, Crathes and Fraser castles, or go raspberry picking if you prefer something different. A place really worth spending at least a day or two.

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.
