Findochty, quiet Fishing Village in North East,Grampian Region. Scotland. XPL 3250-323


Edindoune is a bay at Findochty past which the schools of Moray Firth dolphins can sometimes be seen. For sailors, there is a well serviced marina, with ample pontoons. The harbour is well protected from the elements by sturdy quays, one of which is topped with a small lighthouse. There are coastal walks both east and west. To the east are cliffs, studded with caves. The cliffs are the home to myriad seabirds. There are substantial rock formations such as the Priest Craigs, and the Horses Head. West of the village lies the 18 hole Strathlene golf course which caters for day members. The golf course is bounded to the north by coastal footpaths and low cliffs, making the errant drive from some tees particularly costly. At the south side of the course lies the road linking Findochty to Portessie and Strathlene. Adjacent to this can be seen the remains of a small castle, or keep. Access to the castle is not normally permitted as it is located in the midst of a working farm.
