Buckie, a burgh town steeped in maritime heritage, boasts a rich past as the largest town in Banffshire (until 1975). Located nearly equidistant from Banff, Elgin, and Keith, Buckie's name likely originates from the Buckie Burn valley, not seashells as some believe.

Explore the Buckie and District Fishing Heritage Centre to delve into the town's fishing industry or take a scenic walk along the burn of Letterfourie to the 17th-century Craigmin Bridge. Unwind on the sandy shores of Sunnyside Beach, accessible from Findlater Castle or Cullen. For the golfing enthusiasts, Strathlene Golf Club offers a welcoming atmosphere and stunning views. Nature lovers can explore the beauty of Crannoch-hill Loch or the geologic formations around Hill of Maud. For a unique shopping experience, Be So Crafty offers handmade gifts and crafting supplies. In the evening, unwind at the Harbour Bar with a drink and enjoy the friendly local atmosphere.
