Great walking area! We started here and walked the circular route right round the South harbour. Didn't spot any dolphins but enjoyed the scenery even though the weather was wild and it was bitter cold! Really enjoyed seeing where the big guns would have been, lovely views and lots of people milling around so it's clearly a popular place to come. Wee cafe here too and toilets in the carpark

It's worth the visit for the view alone. Have a look around the ruins whilst there and take in its history📸
