Portknockie is undoubtedly most famous for the staggering natural architecture of Bow Fiddle Rock. However, the entire coastline around the village is sumptuously rugged, with rocky coves and jagged skerries braving the assault of the churning tides. It is also a prime location for spotting the Moray bottlenose dolphins.
