Schoolboy, 15, plunges 80ft to his death from cliff near castle ruins that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula

A 15-year-old boy fell 80 feet to his death from a cliff face near a ruined Scottish castle that is thought to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Cameron Smithies is believed to have lost his footing while standing close to the edge at Slains Castle, Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire. An RAF rescue helicopter was scrambled to the scene and the teenager was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but he died around 24 hours later. Cameron, who would have turned 16 this Thursday, fell on Saturday afternoon. Police said the death is believed to have been a tragic accident.
