STONEHAVEN TOLBOOTH RESTAURANT, MUSEUM & A FAST ROAD RUN
The oldest surviving structure in Stonehaven is the Stonehaven Tolbooth at the harbour, used as an early prison and now a museum.
Stonehaven’s War Memorial is a particularly noticeable monument, standing on top of the Black Hill just south of the town.
It is often thought of as being in a poor state of repair but this is the way it was designed to look – as unfinished or ruined as the lives of those it commemorates.
It was designed by John Ellis an architect from Aberdeen who designed quite a few notable houses in the Northeast as well as some other war memorials.
Whether it was Mr. Ellis’s choice of design or someone else’s we can only guess at but we can certainly appreciate its constant presence on our skyline.
Tourists and strangers may think it’s a folly, a temple or a mausoleum but they certainly notice it, speak about it and remember it and, surely, that is what it was meant to do.
Dunnottar Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Fhoithear, fort on the shelving slope) is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland,
about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages.
Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite risings because of its strategic location and defensive strength. Dunnottar is best known
as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell's invading army in the 17th century. The property of the Keiths from the 14th century,
and the seat of the Earl Marischal, Dunnottar declined after the last Earl forfeited his titles by taking part in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. The castle was restored in the 20th century and is now open to the public.
The ruins of the castle are spread over 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres), surrounded by steep cliffs that drop to the North Sea, 50 metres (160 ft) below.
A narrow strip of land joins the headland to the mainland, along which a steep path leads up to the gatehouse.
The various buildings within the castle include the 14th-century tower house as well as the 16th-century palace. Dunnottar Castle is a scheduled monument, and twelve structures on the site are listed buildings. Oliver Cromwell sacked the castle to find the Crown Jewels following an eight-month siege (having previously destroyed the English Crown Jewels). However, just before the castle fell, the Crown Jewels were smuggled out by some ladies who took them by boat to a small church just down the coast in the village of Kinneff, where they remained undetected for eleven years.

Could this building soon become a new restaurant in stonehaven
On passing the former Royal Bank Building at the Market Square , in Stonehaven the other day I saw a notice on a post just in front of it.
It was from Aberdeenshire Council announcing that there had been an application for permission for change of use to a Restaurant and Take Away.
On further investigation, I learned that the proposals had been submitted by Bennett Developments and Consulting, on behalf of owners Sava Estates.
It seems the developers believe that the Royal Bank in the Market Square, could be the perfect location for the new venture.
It has been reported in the press, that at the moment, the owners can’t say who would be going into the premises.
However, they have had positive discussions with a few different potential end users at the site.
These include an Italian pizza business and Indian, but these discussions are only the start and it might be someone completely different who moves in.
Whoever takes on the building will have to keep the ATM machine in place.
Planning documents submitted to Aberdeenshire Council reveal that this would have to remain there for a number of years.
Although the location is good, Stonehaven already has a number of good eating places and Take Aways.
Could another Restaurant and Take Away survive without some existing eating places closing ? It would be interesting to hear what people think.

Steam Train leaving Aberdeen
On board the train were rumoured to be Prince Charles and Lady Camilla.The road from Aberdeen to Cove was lined with traffic with people with cameras everywhere, so the rumour was probably true.
I just happened to be passing and asked someone what was going on!
