We headed out to Dunnottar Castle and made it unscathed. Took a couple of wrong turns but backtracked and got there no problem. Only problem was mom had to use the restroom. So we find out that we have to buy tickets for the castle out at the castle and that the porta potties that were supposed to be delivered the day before hadn’t arrived. The closest bathroom was, you guessed it, out at the castle.
I don’t know why but I’ve always wanted to visit this castle. Well this time I got to. However, I wasn’t aware of how many steps there were to get you out there. Mom took one look at the stairs and almost turned around. Lolol
So, it’s a long flight of stairs down, then a short path then more stairs to take you up to the castle.
When you get to the top of this set of stairs you walk into the Porticullis then up another set of stairs and through a tunnel that comes out in the middle of the courtyard.
Finally made it to the top and found the bathroom. I expected porta potties, I mean this is a castle ruin on top of a rock that is mostly seperated from the mainland. So finding a flushing toilet was a surprise. Mom was happy though. Lolol
The wind was blowing really hard out there to. I looked up and saw a bird trying to fly. The wind was blowing so hard that the bird looked like he was just hovering.
