Portsoy
Portsoy is one of the prettiest and most unspoiled villages on the Moray Firth Coast.
It is a small holiday town (population 2000) about 50 miles north west of Aberdeen.
Locals and visitors enjoy the benefits of a peaceful rural setting as well as the some of the best coastal views in
Scotland. The climate is better than you would expect as well, the tail end of the Gulf Stream ensuring its usually mild rather than
cold, and less than half the rain of the West Coast.
Portsoy Harbour
Portsoy's main attraction is its 300 year old harbour. The town has two harbours, the old and new.
Sir Patrick Oglivie the 8th Earl of Boyndie, decided the old harbour should be built, it was completed in 1693.
The new harbour was built by the Earl of Seafield in 1825 due to ever increasing demand from the herring fishing fleet.
Loch Soy
Enjoy a stroll, have a picnic or even fish in and around beautiful Loch Soy.
In the summer months you can be brave and hire a boat. There is a play area for the children to enjoy as well.
Lovely cliff-top walks
From Portsoy harbour there are walks both east and west, where some of the best clifftop views
of the Moray Firth can be seen.
Walk west past the old outdoor swimming pool all the way to Sandend, or east past the beach and caravan site to Boyne Castle.
