Walk to stunning Scottish castle that inspired a Disney film named among UK's best

Walk to stunning Scottish castle that inspired a Disney film named among UK's best

Daily Recorda day ago
A coastal walk in northeast Scotland was ranked among the UK's best for its beauty, based on five-star reviews
A scenic coastal walk in northeast Scotland has been ranked among the UK's best, thanks to its dramatic cliffs, medieval fortress and striking natural beauty.
The route from Stonehaven Harbour to the iconic Dunnottar Castle was named the third most beautiful walk in the UK in a new study by photo printing company CEWE, which analysed Google reviews to find the country's most-loved walking trails, Express reports.

Each location was assessed on the number of five-star ratings and how often words like 'beautiful', 'stunning', 'amazing', and 'lovely' appeared in the reviews.

The Stonehaven to Dunnottar walk scored highly, with 254 reviewers describing it as beautiful and an overall 4.8-star rating.
The 3.5-mile circular route takes between 90 minutes and two hours to complete and leads walkers south from the town's picturesque harbour to the imposing ruins of Dunnottar Castle.
Along the way, the trail passes through Black Hill, Strathlethan Bay, Dunnicaer Pictish Fort, and Castle Haven.
Stonehaven, a former fishing town with around 11,000 residents, is known not only for its coastal charm but also for its ancient Hogmanay fireballs ceremony, during which locals parade through the streets swinging flaming balls above their heads to banish evil spirits and welcome the new year.

But the real showstopper is Dunnottar Castle itself. A ruined medieval fortress perched dramatically on a rocky headland, it sits about two miles south of Stonehaven and boasts a commanding position on the northeast coast.
While most of the existing buildings date to the 15th and 16th centuries, the site has been fortified since the Early Middle Ages.

Dunnottar has played a central role in Scottish history, most famously as the hiding place of the Honours of Scotland, the nation's crown jewels, during Oliver Cromwell's invasion in the 17th century.
Once the seat of the powerful Earls Marischal and home to the Keith family from the 14th century, the castle declined after the final Earl forfeited his titles for supporting the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. It was later restored in the 20th century and is now open to the public.
The castle has also featured on the silver screen, appearing in the 1990 film adaptation of Hamlet and inspiring Merida's family home in Disney's Brave.

A few miles further south, nature lovers can continue to RSPB Fowlsheugh, a clifftop reserve teeming with life. In spring and summer, the reserve becomes a noisy haven for more than 130,000 breeding seabirds, including puffins, kittiwakes and razorbills.

Topping CEWE's list of beautiful walks was Mount Stewart in Northern Ireland, a grand 19th-century estate nestled on the shores of Strangford Lough in County Down.

The estate features landscaped gardens, a stately mansion with an impressive art collection, and 10 miles of trails winding through farmland and woodland. It received 259 'beautiful' mentions and a 4.7-star average rating.
Powis Castle and Garden in Welshpool, Wales, took second place. Originally built as a fortress in the 13th century, the castle boasts sweeping views across the Severn Valley and is surrounded by elegant gardens.
It earned 255 'beautiful' reviews and also maintained a 4.7-star rating.

Scotland's 'best zero litter beach' named where there is no rubbish

One picturesque island beach has been crowned the country's cleanest. Scotland's best beach with "zero litter" has been named for summer. It appeared on a UK-wide list of the nation's top clean beaches. With the high temperatures that swept across the country over for the time being, Scots will be counting down the days until the sun comes back out. While heading to the beach is classic sunny day activity, Scotland's beaches are so beautiful that they look picturesque even in wet and grey weather. ‌ New data from plastic waste experts at has revealed the UK's 15 least littered beaches. The experts looked at online reviews of beaches across the nation and singled out bays where no visitors mentioned litter. ‌ The only Scottish beach to appear on list is Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris. The bay also placed at number four on the experts' overall list. According to there are 1,149 online reviews of Luskentyre. Zero of these reviews include the word ' litter '. Luskentyre Beach, also known as Luskentyre Sands, is situated along the west coast of South Harris in the Outer Hebrides. It is among the largest and most scenic bays on the island. The beach is award-winning, previously being named among the best bays in the UK and Europe by Tripadvisor. However, owing to its remote location, Luskentyre is usually quiet despite its acclaim. The beach is renowned for its miles of pristine sands and vibrant turquoise water. It also offers awe-inspiring views out over to the island of Taransay, which is where the iconic BBC series Castaway was filmed. ‌ Elsewhere, topping the experts' list as the best zero-litter beach in the UK is Southwold Pier in Suffolk. The English beach has received 2,641 reviews online, none of which mention litter. Following behind in second and third place are Sandsend Beach in North Yorkshire and Horsey Beach in Norfolk, with 1,349 and 1,259 reviews respectively. Rounding out the top five is Porthcurno Beach in Cornwall in fifth place, which has 694 online reviews. ‌ Plastic waste expert at Graham Matthews commented: "Litter on the UK's beaches turns our natural beauty spots into an eyesore and poses a huge environmental threat to marine life. Each year, as the weather heats up, we see a sharp rise in people flocking to the seaside, but sadly, many don't clean up after themselves. "It's common to find food packaging, disposable BBQs, and even human and animal waste scattered across our shores. All this unsightly litter ruins the enjoyment of our beaches, but it also threatens local wildlife. ‌ "Plastic is a particularly major hazard as it takes so long to break down naturally. Initially, this litter can endanger wildlife, entangle animals or be ingested. However, over time, plastic breaks down into smaller particles known as microplastics that find their way into water, sea life, and even our food chain." Matthews also shared how day-trippers can help keep Scotland's beaches clean. The expert revealed what people can do to ensure the nation's bays are not flooded with litter. ‌ Matthews added: "Beachgoers must take responsibility for the impact of their visit. You should always bin any litter or take it home with you if this isn't possible. "Remember to bring a bag with you to collect any rubbish once you've finished your visit. Beyond this, it's important to reduce your impact further. Consider bringing reusable water bottles as opposed to single-use plastic and avoid the use of difficult-to-clear items such as disposable BBQs. "Local councils may find it hard to keep on top of litter, especially during unpredictable peak periods. Simple provisions like signage, employing local volunteers, and providing litter picking equipment for the public can make a huge difference. ‌ "Outside of this, the best deterrent is to issue fines to those who continue to litter our natural beauty spots."

I'm a money-saving mum who cleared £225k worth of debt – here's my summer savers guide from free meals to cheap days out

Gemma's 'No Spend Days' went viral and helped families save a fortune. Now, she's on a mission for YOU to save even more cash with her destination dupes, Google accommodation trick and party cupboard tip HOLI-YAY! I'm a money-saving mum who cleared £225k worth of debt – here's my summer savers guide from free meals to cheap days out Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT the age of 42, Gemma Bird became mortgage-free after successfully paying off £225k, and now she's on a mission to help YOU save money this summer. The mum-of-two managed to climb out of debt using clever money-saving strategies, despite never earning more than £25k per year. 7 Gemma Bird has shared all her tips for families to save this summer Credit: NEWSUK 7 Gemma launched her Instagram page in 2019 Credit: Gemma Bird - Instagram Thanks to her savvy scrimping, she's now able to enjoy holidays to destinations like Mexico, Lapland, and Dubai. In 2019, Gemma launched her Instagram page, @Moneymumofficial, to share her tips on saving and making money, which quickly gained traction. Now 43, Gemma has amassed an impressive following of 474k on Instagram, where her followers regularly tune in for her expert advice. Reflecting on her journey, she says: 'I was just a working-class girl who loved a bargain. I'm able to afford everything I have today because of the way I saved and my obsession with deals. It doesn't matter how much money you have, everyone loves a bargain.' I was just a working-class girl who loved a bargain In 2020, Gemma introduced her popular 'Gemma's No Spend Days' on social media, which became a huge hit. Building on this success, she landed a book deal, and her Sunday Times bestseller, Money Mum Official: Save Yourself Happy, was published in January 2022. Now living near Billericay, Essex with her husband Adam and their two children, Brody and Bronte, Gemma shares her top tips for having a fun summer - without having to break the bank. No spend days Rev up your savings with no-spend days. Pausing your spending just one day a week can truly make a significant impact on your finances. I've made no-spend days a habit for years - during my toughest saving periods, I'd go three or four days a week without spending a penny. Not only does it save money, but it also highlights how much we often waste on non-essentials. Summer holidays with the kids don't have to break the bank either. Instead of splurging on pricey outings, why not host playdates at home? You can keep the little ones entertained with fun DIY activities like setting up a game of bowls in the garden or creating simple homemade crafts. There are plenty of free attractions that make for a fantastic day out It's all about making small swaps: meeting friends at the park instead of a café, painting your own nails, or whipping up a creative meal with what you've got in the freezer. These little changes can go a long way – and trust me, it's worth it. There are also plenty of free attractions that make for a fantastic day out, like the Science Museum or the Natural History Museum in London. Pack your own food to avoid unnecessary expenses, and plan your visits around free parking times to save even more. With a little planning, you can enjoy quality family time without spending a fortune. Checking in for your dream holiday Dreaming of a getaway without the hefty price tag? There are plenty of creative ways to enjoy a break while keeping your spending in check. 7 Gemma recommends searching 'holiday dupes' for bargain getaways Credit: Instagram Why not skip the trending hotspots like Dubai or Santorini and opt for hidden gems that offer similar vibes at a fraction of the cost? Simply search for 'holiday dupes' online to find destinations that deliver the experience you want without the premium price tag. Always book hotels with free cancellation as well. Monitor price drops and rebook if the price decreases - this simple trick can save you hundreds. I often book months in advance and keep checking for deals right up to the day before check-in. Most people don't bother, but trust me, it's worth it. Make the most of air miles and credit card points as well. Pay for expenses using a credit card that earns air miles, but be sure to pay it off in full each month. Companion flights and air miles have saved us a fortune – we've flown to America for under £1,000 return for a family of four. Using points, we even managed to fly first class one way and economy back for just £1,800 – a deal that would normally cost £24,000. Look out for last-minute deals and make use of vouchers like Tesco Clubcard or The Sun Superdays. These can help you bag bargain breaks without cutting corners. Top Hacks for Holidaying with Kids IF you've got plans to go on holiday with your little ones this summer, here's some advice to take on board. Plan Ahead: Book accommodations with family-friendly amenities. Research kid-friendly attractions and activities. Make travel arrangements that accommodate your children's schedules. Pack Smart: Create a packing checklist to ensure you don't forget essentials. Pack a mix of familiar and new toys to keep kids entertained. Bring snacks, extra clothes, and emergency supplies in your carry-on. Travel Comfort: Use neck pillows and blankets for a more comfortable journey. Download movies, games, and music on tablets or phones. Schedule travel during nap times or overnight to maximise sleep. Stay Organized: Use packing cubes to keep clothes and items sorted. Keep important documents, like passports and tickets, in a dedicated folder. Utilise apps for itinerary management and navigation. Engage and Entertain: Plan interactive activities like scavenger hunts or travel journals. Explore local parks, playgrounds, and kid-friendly museums. Involve kids in trip planning to get them excited and engaged. Maintain Routine: Stick to regular meal and sleep times as much as possible. Bring along comfort items, like favorite blankets or stuffed animals. Allow for downtime to avoid overstimulation. Stay Flexible: Be prepared to adjust plans based on your children's needs and moods. Embrace the unexpected and make the most of impromptu moments. Keep a positive attitude to set the tone for a fun and memorable trip. These hacks can help make your holiday with kids smoother, more enjoyable, and will ensure that you return home with wonderful memories! And don't be afraid or ashamed to email a hotel for a cheeky upgrade. A polite email ahead of your stay mentioning special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries could land you free perks or room upgrades. You might be surprised by how accommodating hotels can be. Get savvy with price comparisons When booking hotels or Airbnbs, I always screenshot the property and use Google Photos to search for it on other websites. More often than not, I find the same property listed for less – this simple trick has saved me hundreds of pounds. When it comes to flights, tools like Google Flights and Skyscanner are invaluable for comparing prices. Don't be afraid to experiment with dates, times, and even nearby airports to uncover the best deals. Small adjustments can make a big difference. Heading away for next to nothing Looking for ways to save big on your holidays? Staying with friends or doing house swaps can be a brilliant option. 7 Gemma recommends renting out a spare room for a few weeks to help pay the bills Credit: The Sun On one trip, we stayed with friends in Scotland – we split the food bill, enjoyed home-cooked meals, and had an amazing time for next to nothing. If you're comfortable with it, renting out your home on Airbnb while you're away could be a game-changer, covering the cost of your holiday entirely. If it works for you, letting your home can bring in serious money. I know people who let their homes while they're on holiday, effectively paying for their trips, and even someone who lets her flat one week a month while staying with her mum. Whether you live in a tourist hotspot or a quieter area, there's often demand for short-term stays – from business travellers to those visiting family. If you're thinking about it, take some time to prepare. Great photos make all the difference, so show off clean kitchens, freshly made beds, cosy living spaces, and any views you might have. A little effort before uploading pictures can really boost bookings. Alternatively if you have a spare room in your house, you could rent it out to a trainee teacher. We rented out a room to a trainees teacher from France on work experience at the local secondary school, and enjoyed having them stay. You could also open your home to touring performers or language students visiting your area for short periods – they're often out and about most of the time anyway. To get started, contact local theatres, schools, or language schools to see how to join their accommodation lists. Alternatively, you can use a trusted platform like to guide you through the process safely and securely. This could really bring in the extra cash. Camping out For nature lovers, free camping is another brilliant budget-friendly idea. A quick search for free campsites near you can uncover hidden gems where you can enjoy the great outdoors without spending a penny. 7 Opt for independent camping and caravan sites to save on your next staycation Credit: Getty If you're looking for affordable caravan holidays? Independent caravan sites can often provide great value compared to big-name chains. While they may not have all the extras, they're perfect for a budget-friendly break. I remember visiting one in Canby when I was younger, and while it wasn't anything fancy, it was clean, tidy, and served its purpose. We had a brilliant time despite the simplicity! Sometimes the smaller, independent sites offer a more personal and cosy experience, so they're definitely worth checking out. If you're considering a caravan holiday, don't overlook these lesser-known spots – they might just be the perfect option for a fun and affordable getaway. Eating out for free Eating out during the school holidays doesn't have to cost a fortune – there are plenty of ways to save if you plan ahead. I always avoid overpriced food at attractions by either packing snacks from home or grabbing a supermarket meal deal on the way. Even if I forget, I'll stop at a shop before heading into a venue – it's so much cheaper than paying their inflated prices. I took my daughter to the theatre recently, and she wanted some sweets. The price for a small bag of fruit pastilles was £5! Whether I can afford it or not, I just couldn't justify it – it felt like daylight robbery. I told her she'd have to wait until we left, and honestly, it's these little choices that help keep costs down. There are also great perks to take advantage of. For example, Octopus Energy customers can use the OctiPlus app to claim a free coffee each week from Caffè Nero or Greggs. If you've never downloaded the Greggs app before, you'll get a free drink just for signing up – I've definitely made the most of that. When it comes to dining out, lots of places offer deals where kids eat free. Some great options include Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, Comptoir Libanais, Bill's, Yo! Sushi, Morrisons, Tesco, Bella Italia, ASDA, and Ikea. It's always worth checking what's available before heading out. Swimming on a budget Keeping the kids entertained during term time doesn't have to cost a fortune – with a bit of planning and creativity, there are plenty of affordable activities to enjoy. 7 Why not see if a local homeowner with a pool is renting it out for a day? Credit: Getty Local swimming pools are often very affordable, so start by checking out smaller pools near you. For something a little different, some private homes rent out their pools by the hour. We've got one near us, and it's around £30–£40 for an hour, which you can split with other families. It works out really cheap and gives you the pool all to yourselves. We did this last year, and it was brilliant – the kids loved it, and it's perfect if you're not a fan of crowded pools. Splash parks are another fantastic option – often free or inexpensive, they're great for outdoor water fun without the cost of entry fees. Cinema and bowling deals Take advantage of early morning cinema screenings like Mini Mornings, offered by Cineworld, Vue, and other cinema chains. These sessions are heavily discounted and perfect for a family outing without spending loads. They may be called different things depending on the cinema, but they're all great value. Bowling can be another fun and affordable activity if you plan ahead. Always check online for vouchers or discounts before booking – many venues offer deals that can make a big difference to the cost of a family trip. But before heading out anywhere, always do a quick search online for vouchers or discounts. Kids pass and discounts When it comes to keeping costs down on days out and activities, I'm always on the lookout for ways to save. Kids Pass is a fantastic option – it's great for discounts on theme parks, cinemas, and other activities. Kellogg's also regularly runs promotions for free or discounted days out, and I've used their vouchers loads of times in the past. Tesco Clubcard points are another lifesaver – they can get you brilliant deals for places like Legoland, Alton Towers, and other big attractions. I never go to theme parks without a deal; whether it's two-for-one offers or discounts where kids go free, there are always vouchers if you keep an eye out. I've found that Tesco Clubcard points, in particular, are brilliant for these kinds of trips. That said, memberships can be a good idea too, but only if you'll use them enough to make them worthwhile. For instance, if it costs £50 per visit and you know you'll go three times a year, then a membership might save you money. But if you're not going to use it regularly, it's just not worth it. You've got to weigh up how far you live, how often you'll go, and whether perks like discounts on food and drink will actually benefit you. I personally always bring my own food and drink, so those extras don't save me much. Check with your energy provider Another great tip is to check if your energy provider offers perks. For example, Octopus Energy has deals on activities, and even free passes for things like cinema tickets. There are also deals like Meerkat Movies, which can save you a lot. For quieter days at home, free trial subscriptions can be a lifesaver. Services like Prime Movies often offer free trials, and you can use them during the holidays for movie nights with the kids. Just make sure you set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. Having a party cupboard When it comes to buying toys for my kids or gifts for others, I've always been smart about finding bargains. I've never been shy about buying second-hand toys – charity shops, boot sales, and school fairs are absolute goldmines. My daughter Bronte genuinely thinks the toy shop is the charity shop or Poundland, and she couldn't care less. Kids don't mind about fancy packaging or where things come from – they just love the excitement of having something 'new' to play with. I also do toy rotation at home. 7 Have your kids' toys on a rotation, it will stop them getting bored playing with the same ones Credit: Getty I'll keep some toys hidden away and swap them out every few days. It keeps things fresh, and they feel like they're getting something new without spending a penny. Whenever I see toys on offer – whether it's in shops like B&M or online on Amazon - I'll grab them and put them away for later, especially for birthdays or Christmas. Amazon is brilliant for deals on kids' toys, and I'm always checking for price drops. Just the other day, I found a toy reduced from £40 to £7.99. I shared it with friends, and loads of people started buying it to put away for Christmas. It's such a good feeling to be prepared and save money at the same time. I also stick to a budget of around £10 per present. If I can grab a deal like two toys for £10 that would normally cost £17 each, then the child is still getting a really nice gift, but I'm not overspending. For older kids, I'll often just put money in a card – it's practical and lets them save for something they really want. Being savvy with toys and gifts has saved me so much over the years, and it's a great way to always have something ready without breaking the bank. Saving and making money There are so many clever ways to save money when it comes to driving and parking. For starters, to maximise your car's mileage, try only half-filling your fuel tank each time. A full tank adds extra weight, which causes your car to burn more fuel. Renting out your parking space could earn you around £50 a month You can also save by removing roof racks when they're not in use and clearing out your boot to avoid driving around with unnecessary weight. These small changes can make a big difference to your fuel efficiency over time. If you've got a parking space or driveway you're not using, you could easily turn it into a little extra cash. In areas where parking is expensive and hard to find, commuters or train travellers are often on the lookout for more affordable options. Renting out your space could earn you around £50 a month, and apps like JustPark make it really simple to get started. Plus, having an extra car parked on your drive can even act as a burglar deterrent. On the flip side, if you regularly drive to work or a specific destination, it's worth exploring whether you can rent a parking space instead of paying extortionate daily fees.
