Cairn O'Mount Viewpoint

Cairn o’ Mount is a historic hill‑pass in Aberdeenshire—once an ancient drovers’ and military route connects Deeside with the Howe of the Mearns. Today, the twisting, narrow road climbs through forested slopes, emerging into open moorland before reaching the summit viewpoint . The peak rewards us with sweeping, panoramic views—looking east to the North Sea and south over the Mearns.

    The castle is located on the cliff and there was a fair bit of steps to negiotiate. There were cobble stones lined footpath which can be slippery in wet. Definitely not for those with restricted mobility. This was a small group tour with only four of us. It was personalised and our guide Jamie was great.Good sense of humour and knowledgeable about the sites we visited.

    Was very happy that the tour still went ahead with just one person. Alex was the guide for the day and he has a wealth of knowledge about pretty much everything, especially history! Dunnottar was magnificent and truly the highlight. The coastal fishing villages were a bit quiet but interesting nonetheless. Highly recommend.
