Looking down on Scottish rural houses & rooftops at the seaside coastal village at Gamrie Bay, Crovie, Banff, Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, Scotland UK
Crovie is built on a remarkably narrow ledge between the base of the cliffs forming the east side of Gamrie Bay and the sea. It sits looking across the bay to the rather larger and more securely located village of Gardenstown. Crovie is unique. There may be other villages where the use of motor vehicles is discouraged. But as far as we know there's nowhere else in mainland Britain where it is simply impossible to use one. The shelf on which the village is perched is so narrow it only has room for a row of cottages and the footpath in front of them. A community built on the shelf of a North Sea cliff, 60 houses, no road, one pier.
