Harbour town, dolphin coast
A proud fishing town strung along the Moray Firth, where dolphins surface off Strathlene and the coastal path runs east to Findochty and Portknockie.

On foot
Local walks
The routes worth knowing — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.
The Strathlene shore
An easy stretch east from the harbour past the old open-air pool to Strathlene, with the dolphins working the tide just offshore.
Buckie to Portknockie clifftops
The coast path east along the firth through Findochty and on to the Bow Fiddle Rock — benches at every viewpoint and an ice cream at the far end.
By the water
Beaches & coast
Where the firth meets the sand — and the dolphins put on a show.
Strathlene rock pools
A rocky, low-tide shore east of the harbour — good for rock-pooling, and the best place in town to watch the bottlenose dolphins.
The harbour & the firth
The working harbour wall and the long view across the Moray Firth to the Sutherland hills on a clear day.
