A real treat especially during nesting season, a bird watchers paradise. Guillemots, kittiwakes, razor bills and the occasional puffin if you’re lucky. It’s also only a ten minute drive from Stoney.

You don't have to be keen on birds to visit this lovey area. Stunning clifftop walk. You might even see a puffin or the fun loving dolphins on your walk out to the point.

Fowlsheugh which is old gaelic for "bird cliff" is well named. The huge cliffs just north of the old fishing village of Crawton are home to the largest RSPB bird reserve in the mainland UK with over 170,000 birds nesting between April and late July. There is ample parking and a well maintained clifftop path provides a chance to see Fulmars, Razorbills, Guillemots and Kittiwakes. If you are really lucky you might also see the Puffins. To find them you'll need to walk about a mile along the cliff top path to a well maintained viewing shelter. The Puffins nest in the small caves and burrows near the top of the cliff, just below the shelter. The are best seen from the opposite side of the steep gully, looking back towards the south. Good luck!

One of the most spectacular birdwatching sites in Britain 4 miles South of Stonehaven. See Puffins, Fulmars, Guillemots, Kittiwakes, and Razorbills. The cliffs also make a great lookout post for Grey Seals, Dolphins, and Minke Whales.

For sure you will see thousands of seabirds. If you are lucky you will see Puffins. Take your binoculars and you might be lucky and spot seals and dolphins out to sea.
