Findochty, pronounced Finnichty, is a beautiful wee fishing village near Buckie. It has been known as a village since the 1400s. When Buckie was established the fishing moved there and Findochty harbour now contains mostly leisure boats. The houses are painted bright colours, which are wonderful in the sunshine. You can see the church, overlooking the sea, from the main road. It has a small supermarket, post office and pub. The streets are very narrow and there’s a steep descent down to the harbour, like many of the villages on the north-east coast. If you catch the village on a sunny day, it’s a real treat.

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.

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.
