The coast around Findochty is magnificently rugged, making for some wonderful walks in fair weather and dramatic hikes when the wind is up and the waves crash agains the stacks, skerries and cliffs. A prosperous fishing port until operations at Buckie were expanded, today Findochty still has an attractive harbour and plenty of places to rest your head at night.

Findochty harbour, three miles east of Buckie, has two basins. Over 100 berths are available to accommodate the demand from a wide range of pleasure and fishing boats which mainly consist of creel boards and long-liners catching mackerel.
