Moray & Banffshire Coasts

Coastal roads join several attractive villages which are worth a look, including:

Crovie which huddles below cliffs and can only be accessed by a footpath.

Buckie, for its has an excellent Heritage Museum which has lots of interesting insights into local fishing history.
