Stonehaven (/stoʊnˈheɪvən/ ( listen); [stinˈhaiv] ( listen)) is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies on Scotland's northeast coast and had a population of 11,602 (Scotland's Census 2011). After the demise of the town of Kincardine, which was gradually abandoned after the destruction of its royal castle in the Wars of Independence, the Scottish Parliament made Stonehaven the successor county town of Kincardineshire. Stonehaven had grown around an Iron Age fishing village, now the "Auld Toon" ("old town"), and expanded inland from the seaside. As late as the 16th century, old maps indicate the town was called Stonehyve, Stonehive, Pont also adding the alternative Duniness. It is known informally to locals as Stoney.

Tiny Wee Ice Cream And Sweetie Shop With Hot Drinks To Go. Open Everyday Early, Till Late. Lovely Location To Enjoy A Traditional Sea Side Treat.
We visited here while staying overnight in Stonehaven and both had the Kinder Bueno Sundae - oh my goodness - it was amazing. Huge chunks of bueno smothered in vanilla and chocolate ice cream (with the option of swapping these out for other flavours) and very tasty sauces. Just amazing!
