A once bustling port, today Buckie is a pleasant fishing town ideally placed as a base for exploring some of the highlights of the Moray Coast. It is either the beginning or the termination of the Speyside Way (depending on your direction of travel) and also lies on the route of the Moray Coast Trail.

The spectacular rock formation of Bow Fiddle Rock is the obvious draw, but the coastal walking found here in general is superb. Ospreys can be seen from nearby Spey Bay and whales and dolphins can often be spotted in the firth.
