Red Wall Quarry

Overhanging quarry face with a small selection of difficult sport routes. It lies close to the Red Wall traditional cliff.

Approach

From Aberdeen take the A90 to Peterhead. After Longhaven village 8 miles before Peterhead turn off the A90 onto a track. Follow the track to a small car park by a cottage. Follow a path by the cottage east then south to the first quarry works. Go right to a fence then pick up another path that leads to the headland of the Red Wall. Continue on this path untill it turns south along the rim of the Red Quarry.
