This historic view of Dunnottar Castle by the Dutch engineer John Slezer is now recognised as an incorrect labelling by his engraver. It is actually Wemyss Castle in Fife. A chapel at Dunnottar is said to have been founded by St Ninian in the 5th century, [4] although it is not clear when the site was first fortified, but in any case the legend is late and highly implausible.

The stunning Bavarian castle, as well as several other castles in Poland, France and Spain, served as inspiration for the 1950 Disney film 'Cinderella' and the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland.
The Dunottar Castle was built at Govan Shipyards in 1889 by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company for the Castle Line, passing to the Union Castle Line in 1900. She became famous in the 1890s for reducing the voyage from Southampton, England, to Cape Town, South Africa, from 42 to 17 days and 20 hours.
