The precarious location of Kaim of Mathers, Aberdeenshire

This photo, taken from the cliffs nearer the coastal path, shows the precariously poised position of the remainder of Kaim of Mathers. The remaining walls can be seen to be teetering on the edge a chasm created by coastal erosion and cliff collapse. This is a very dangerous location and the safest course of action is to leave it to the cormorants that frequent the spot. While there are warning signs on the clifftop coastal path to say that the path is closed for safety reasons, there are no warning signs near the path that leads to Kaim of Mathers to alert walkers to the extreme danger of trying to climb out on to the rocks that support the ruined building. For safety reasons, I feel that such a notice is urgently needed.
