6 Harbours Coastal Run
A 12 mile adventure along the coast, starting at 17th Century
Portsoy Harbour which has featured in the film "Whisky Galore", TV Series "Peaky Blinders" and also hosts an annual "Scottish Traditional Boat Festival" in late June where up to 16,000 visitors attend over the weekend.
The route then heads to Sandend or "Sanine" as it is known by the locals where Glenglasshaugh Distillery is passed on approach before crossing the beautiful beach to the village. From Sandend the route then passes the stunning 13th Century Findlater Castle, built on top of the cliffs before dropping down to the glorious unspoilt Sunnyside Beach which can only be accessed on foot. Onwards, along the rocky coastal path to Cullen, the Harbour designed by Thomas Telford in 1817. Cullen is famous for it's Viaduct Bridges and is the home of "Cullen Skink", a smoked haddock based soup that is loved by locals and visitors alike.
Out of Cullen and heading towards Portknockie we pass the lovely "Bow Fiddle Rock", a 15 metre tall natural sea arch of Quartzite rock that sits just off the coastline. Into Portknockie village where we then pass the lovely old harbour with it's open air swimming pool before rejoining the path towards Findochty or "Finechtie" as it is known locally. The Harbour is now mostly used for leisure boats although a few smaller fishing boats still sail from here. Onto the last stretch and along the coastline where the adventure will finish at Strathlene Golf Club on the outskirts of Buckie.
Picnic lunch at finish. Includes all transportation.
