St Cyrus

The little village of St Cyrus perches above a huge beach, now a nature reserve. Traditional salmon fishing using nets was carried out on the beach for many years, and there are several old stone built ice houses which were used for keeping the salmon chilled before transporting them to market. A slightly precarious path takes you along the edge of the cliffs for a mile or so before dropping down to shore level, where the path continues to Johnshaven, Gourdon, Invervbervie and beyond. It's a beautiful walk, especially on a glorious sunny day towards the end of the year.
