Local information

  • Number 19 Shorehead is situated in the most prominent position in the heart of the historic harbour, with magnificent views out through the harbour mouth to Downie Point. Stonehaven is a charming fishing port and traditional holiday resort. Just to the south are the dramatic ruins of Dunnottar Castle, while sheltering beneath the cliffs is the town's picturesque harbour, where there is a museum and a seafood restaurant set in a 16th-century jail, as well as the historic Ship Inn and the Marine Hotel, which brews its own beers. The town hosts an annual real ale festival in June. Along the bay is an award winning fish and chip shop and an Olympic-sized Art Deco open-air swimming pool where, in the summer, you can swim under the stars in water that is heated to a balmy 29 degrees. The Victorian town hall hosts gigs and cinema screenings; the town's four schools are rated 'very good' or 'good'; and there is a cliff-top golf course and a busy yacht club. Stonehaven hosts its world famous Hogmanay fire-ball procession just yards from the property and a music event on New Year's Eve in the Town Centre.
