A couple of miles north of the coast of Cruden Bay lies the Bullers o' Buchan, a marine erosion with some of the most impressive cliff-side views in Britain. The name is probably derived from 'boilers', referring to the seething waters that impact against the bottom of these majestic cliffs. The sea through time has carved caves and inlets into the cliffs, making them spectacular to walk round.

As with all coastal areas around Aberdeenshire, great care must be taken when walking on the cliffs around Slains Castle, and this is also particularly relevant at the nearby Bullers O' Buchan which provide spectacular views of sea chasms cut into the rock.

Located off the A975 three miles north of Cruden Bay, the Bullers are some 200 feet deep in places, and the cliff scenery is some of the most breathtaking in Britain.

A wide variety of seabirds also proliferates at the cliffs, and there are information signs at the Bullers to keep visitors informed of what they may see.
