Findochty Harbour

Highlight • Structure

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.

Portknockie Harbour

Highlight • Structure

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.

Bow Fiddle Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Certainly the most conspicuous and dramatic object on the Moray coast, Bow Fiddle Rock is an icon. Steeply folded layers of Cullen quartzite form a natural, idiosyncratic arch of staggering beauty. From certain angles, it's easy to see how the formation earned its bow and fiddle moniker. When waves crash below a moody sky and fulmars circle above, there are few finer scenes on the Scottish coast.

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

This is a easy to pedal long distance coastal path taking in the fishing village dotted along Morayshire's coastline. The terrain unlike the Highlands is mainly agricultural with a rolling landscape. There are many local attractions along the way. Cullen has a fab beach plus a really nice cafe, Buckie has the Bijou Cafe to forget Spey Bay where the Scottish Dolphin Centre is located.Stop at any of the local villages & try the fish and chips (you won't be disappointed). For Mountain Bikers, there's the Moray Monster Trails at Fochabers. There's a great selection of Trails from gentle to proper Gnarly! The biggest attraction of this route are the vast far reaching sea views, where you can spot, Dolphins, Basking Sharks, Seals including a vast array of seabirds including Osprey!

Statue of the Seated Fisherman

Highlight • Monument

This statue of a watchful seated fisherman , on a raised stone plinth overlooking the picturesque harbour, was created by local sculptor Corenna Cowie in 1959. It was erected to commemorate the brave men of Findochty who were lost in the two World Wars, and paid for by public conscriptions.
