Stonehaven kincardshire, is surrounded by higher
land on three sides and protected by downie
point and Garron Point two
massive rocky headlands, a former county town now head quarters of the Kincardine and Deeside District the bay is astride the mouths of the Carron and the Cowie rivers.
The main centre of the town is
on a small coastal plain backed by a succession of terraces rising up to the inland plateau. The beach is shingle, but apart from the absence of sand Stonehaven has everything
needed for a seaside holiday resort giving access to a charming rural district. It has an attractive golf course on the grassy shelf along its northern cliffs a splendid, healed open-air swimming pool
a large caravan site, plentiful recreation grounds many fine hotels and boarding houses, and a friendly intimacy that would be impossible in a
larger resort.

shadow of the massive old red sandstone cliffs of Downie Point and, on the other, the New Town stretched out on the little plain and the terraces between the Carron and the Cowie, with Cowie Village on
the North of Stonehaven Bay and its tiny harbour and rows of cottages. |
