The impressive ruin of Dunnottar Castle was used in part of the filming of Mel Gibson’s 'Hamlet'. House of Ury (2005). Ury House (or Urie) one time residence of Sir Alexander Baird stands about one mile west of Stonehaven. Currently a roofless ruin; Ury is a large Elizabethan mansion built in 1885 incorporating parts of an earlier Z-plan tower house which dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. The original tower house was owned by the Fraser’s; it then passed to the Keith’s Earl Marischal due to marriage. It was later sold to the Hay’s of Errol in 1415, but made its way back to the Keith’s who bought it in 1647, only to sell it a year later to Barclay of Mathers. It was purchased by the Baird family in 1854 and in 1946 sold to pay death duties to the Holman’s. The house was sold to the Wiseley’s of Aberdeen and sadly the roof was taken off in the early 1950’s 1 Anonymous In Stoney ANONYMOUS IN STONEY By Jean Kemlo Edited by Stanley Bruce Published by BARD BOOKS Photography by Stanley Bruce 2 Anonymous In Stoney Copyright © Jean Kemlo & Stanley Bruce First edition This edition published in 2006 by Bard Books.

  • Cowie to Market Square Loop
    Walk 2: Cowie to Market Square loop Distance: 2 km / 1.25 miles - allow 45 minutes Difficulty: Easy On this walk, I’ll point out some of the lesser known curiosities and interesting history in and around Stonehaven town centre. It’s amazing how much is hidden in plain sight. Starting Point We start at the edge of Cowie. Cowie and the coast immediately to the north of Stonehaven is a must see, especially at low tide when the geology of the area is more visible. Beyond Cowie are rocks more than 428 million years of age… but that’s a walk for another time. Walking along Beach Road Just now let’s go the opposite direction and walk along Beach Road keeping the sea to our left. You’ll spot some shops to the right and can pick up some delicious ice cream or a coffee from aunty betty’s. The view of the crescent-shaped Stonehaven Bay is beautiful from here and in the distance, you may be able to spot The War Memorial atop the Bervie Braes. I recommend you go for a walk to the top and along to Dunnottar Castle if it’s a clear day. The Recreation Grounds Keep going straight and you’ll spot Stonehaven’s Recreation grounds on the right. Fishing boats used to be built here, but by 1900 fishing was in decline and tourism was on the up, so we now we have bowling and putting greens and tennis courts. The Craw’s Nest Continue on and we’ll get to a bridge that crosses the River Cowie.
