Findlater Castle is a spectacularly sited ruined castle clinging to a steep rocky headland on the Aberdeenshire coast near Cullen, high above the Moray Firth. Dating from the 15th century, it was the clifftop stronghold of the Ogilvy family, later Earls of Findlater, before they abandoned it for more comfortable quarters inland. Today only fragmentary walls survive, best appreciated from the clifftop path above — a dramatic, windswept ruin prized more for its setting than any surviving rooms.
