Overview

Meet at the layby on the A90.  Catch the 61 bus at 1010 from Stirling Village to Cruden Bay.  Bring any bus passes.  Alight from the bus at Cruden Bay.  Walk down Main Street to the public car park and then on to the footpath to Slains Castle, linked with the novels of Bram Stoker, including Dracula.  Continue on the cliff top path to the Bullers of Buchan.  Should be good views of birds nesting on the cliffs below.  Continue on the cliff top path to the Longhaven Cliffs Nature Reserve and onto the track of an old railway line to Rocksley Drive, Boddam.

Note- the cliff top path is narrow in places with a steep drop to one side.  The railway track is rough and can get overgrown.
