Findochty
Painted harbour cottages
A tiny, picture-perfect harbour of brightly painted cottages tucked between Buckie and Portknockie.
On foot
Walks worth knowing
The routes the locals take — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.
The Bow Fiddle Rock
A short clifftop walk from the village to the famous sea arch — at its best early, when the light comes round behind it and the gannets are out.
The bay & the Three Kings
A flat walk along Cullen sands to the Three Kings rock stacks at the far end, the viaducts arching over the old town behind you.
Linn Falls & the Lour Burn
A short woodland climb from the village to the Linn Falls, where the Lour Burn drops through a rocky gorge behind the old distillery.
The Glen of Newmill
A wooded glen walk north of the town along the burn, climbing gently to a quiet waterfall that runs gold after rain.
The bay & the dunes
A flat circuit around Findhorn Bay and out to the dunes, windsurfers offshore and dolphins in the firth beyond.
The Giant’s Chair & the Dullan
A gorge walk along the Dullan Water to the Giant’s Chair, a deep rock pool below the linn — steep in places, worth every step.
By the water
Beaches worth visiting
Where the firth meets the sand — and the dolphins put on a show.
Cullen Sands
A wide, clean arc of sand beneath the railway viaducts — the picture-book beach of the coast, and home to the soup that took the town’s name.
East Beach
A long sweep of sand and dunes across the footbridge — the town’s great beach, big enough to lose the crowd even in July.
Hopeman East Beach
A sandy bay backed by the painted beach huts — sheltered, shallow and a long-standing family favourite.
Findhorn Beach
A wide tidal bay backed by dunes and pine — sheltered water for paddlers, open sand for everyone else.
Boyndie Bay
A sheltered, sandy bay just west of the town — the local swimming beach, calm and shallow.
Burghead Bay
A vast, gently shelving beach backed by pine forest — room enough to feel like your own, even in summer.
