The middle ground of this photo shows the rocky and exposed, headland site of Kaim of Mathers which overlooks Montrose Bay. Although, from a distance, it may appear an inviting place to visit, it is fact extremely dangerous to do so. Indeed, the sensible advice is not even to attempt making footfall at the ruined castle as to do so involves taking a perilous path with a leap of faith at the end of it. As the Kaim of Mathers occupies an exposed, headland position, it is often windy and this further increases the difficulty and danger at this location. The church in the distance is St Cyrus Parish Church.
