Buckie is a major fishing port on the Moray Firth Coast and also a very attractive holiday spot. Allied to that are the fish processing plants, net manufacturing, boatbuilding and repair yards which underpin the local economy along with the surrounding farming and together they make for a busy town.

With Buckpool just next door and both places having good beaches, this is a popular holiday resort as well and in the summer months the town throngs with the many visitors attracted to the area.

A museum called 'The Buckie Drifter' is dedicated to the herring fishing Industry and visiting a place like this makes one aware of just how resilient and brave these fisherfolk were and still are. To watch the boats coming and going from the harbour, rising and falling in the swell, which hits the craft at the harbour mouth is a sight to see. Even with the most modern boats this is still a very dangerous occupation and many a story can be told to the visitor by the fishermen of these parts.

The town itself has a bustling array of shops, which make for a good browse around.
Dolphin cruises can be had from the harbour for the opportunity to see these delightful animals.
A spot of good fishing can be enjoyed from the harbour or the shore.
Buckie has two golf courses close by at Strathlene and Buckpool and a good challenge is guaranteed.

For eats there are Hotel, Restaurant and Cafe facilities available at varying prices to suit the pocket.
Hotels, Guesthouses, Caravan and Camping facilities are available.
