Dunnottar fortress, Scotland

Dunnottar fortress is a destroyed medieval fortress on a rocky promontory off the northeast coast of Scotland, about 2 miles south of Stonehaven. The majority of the surviving buildings date back to the 15th-16th centuries AD, however, the region is thought to have been destroyed in the Early Middle Ages. Because of its strategic location and defensive strength, Dunnottar has played an important role in Scottish history up to the 18th century AD, particularly during Jacobite risings.
