We went there in early June. There were many Razorbills, Guillemots and Kittiwakes, but not many puffins. There seemed to be quite a number of burrows though. It was an enjoyable walk by the cliff.

A really amazing coastal trail along the cliffs with great views of the sea bird colonies. We went in early April and saw lots of guillemots and razorbills. Will definitely return to hopefully see some puffins when they return to nest. Small car park at the end of the lane before the trail.

Beautiful walk along the cliff side! Nice to watch the fishermen and the birds. Will definitely be back next year to see the puffins!

Visit these places with hope of meeting puffins . It was the beginning of May, and I already lost my hope because we already visited a couple of places with no luck. There was instruction from RSPB where puffins can be spotted, we follow the instructions, and I do recommend it because we were lucky to spot those beautiful birds

Gorgeous place with a beautiful waterfall and thousands of puffins and seagulls! A bit of a walk but nothing bad, and well worth it. Definitely an interesting spot to visit

I came here during the winter, it's simply an outstanding place to be. Unfortunately I didn't get to see any puffins that's okay. It was peaceful being here, the scenery is simply stunning & I highly recommend coming here. Especially during summer when it's warm!

Brilliant place to see Razorbills, Guillimots, Kittiwakes and Fulmars. Too early for Puffins yet but they'll arrive in the next month or so. The haar was strong today but on a clear day the views are spectacular. Parking is limited, only space for 4 cars in the designated car park then maybe another 6 at the roadside. We luckily got the last space on a Sunday at 12.30 but while we had a coffee in the car 2 vehicles were getting ready to leave so I'd advise coming early or around lunchtime when others are leaving. Around 1km walk to the Puffin viewpoint but we spent much more time at the cliffs well before there taking pictures of the other birds. We find Buellers of Buchan is the best place for Puffins if they're what you're after. Paths are great, a few bridges to cross, not too steep but be careful of ground nesting birds

Great rspb place to check out, and if your lucky may see puffins. We unfortunately did not but was an enjoyable walk along the cliff side with great views out to sea. There is an enclosed hide overlooking the puffin area or a singular bench outside.

This place is brilliant. We saw three little puffins on the spectacular cliffs. No car? No problem! We got the 107 bus from Stonehaven and got off 10 minutes later at the Crawton/Uras cross roads. X7 south also takes that route along the A92. Then it’s a beautiful 20 minute stroll past the sheep to the RSPB Scotland maintained cliff path and a spectacular walk along the cliff top. Take binoculars and a camera/phone with zoom and you too may be lucky. Not to mention blooming flowers everywhere you look. Thanks to RSPB Scotland for all you do to preserve and make these places accessible.
