Stonehaven is a picturesque coastal town located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, approximately 15 miles south of Aberdeen. Originally a fishing village, the town grew around its natural harbor which dates back to the 17th century.

The town's rich history is evident in its architectural heritage, including the nearby Dunnottar Castle, a dramatic medieval fortress perched on a clifftop. Stonehaven played a significant role in Scotland's culinary history as the birthplace of the deep-fried Mars bar, first created at the town's Haven Chip Bar (now The Carron) in 1995.

The town maintains strong cultural traditions, particularly during its annual Hogmanay celebrations, which feature the unique Fire Ball ceremony where locals swing flaming balls through the streets to ward off evil spirits. The town's cultural landscape includes various historical buildings, art galleries, and cultural venues that showcase both traditional Scottish heritage and contemporary arts.
