United Kingdom Old Keiss Castle

This old castle is settled on a cliff right at the drop into the ocean. It's one of the most beautiful castles in the very North of Scotland and its location is unique.

You want to visit this location during high tide due to the ocean level which is quite low during low tide. The ocean does not reach the cliffs anymore and the entire scene would look different. Therefore make sure to check the timetables and also check for wind predictions since it looks nicer with waves rushing against the cliff. Make sure to check out the spot at the cliff as well as walk down to the beach to get on the same level as the ocean for some low-angle shots with your camera!

You will have to park at the nearby harbor and walk towards the castle. It an easy and even walk which can get muddy depending on the weather. Parking at the harbor was free when I visited in 2021.
