About Dunnottar Woodland Park
The local community help Forestry Commission Scotland to manage this small wood through the Dunnottar Woodland Park Association.
The wood contains many historical features such as Lady Kennedy's Bath, an ice house and the Shell House. Stand at the entrance to the Shell House and see the wonderful designs recreated on its walls, or peer down into the depths of the ice house.
Glasslaw car park has a picnic area which is accessible by wheelchair, and a grassy area full of wildflowers in the early summer.
Parking and trails
The paths within this small wood are all heavily used by walkers. Many of the paths are narrow and vulnerable to erosion. Please do not cycle or ride a horse on any of the paths within this wood. Try nearby Fetteresso instead.
Dogs are welcome in Dunnottar, but please keep your dog under close control - even friendly dogs can scare wildlife and other people.
How to get there:
Stonehaven is the nearest town or village.
Dunnottar lies on the south side of Stonehaven, between the dual carriageway and the A957. Walkers can reach the wood through a number of entrances between Mill of Forest and Carron Gardens. Details of how to reach the two car parks are given under appropriate web pages.
