Sandend is a 17th century fishing village, one of the smallest and perhaps one of the most attractive along the Banffshire coast. It is known by the privileged few as a mecca for surfers and kayakers and occupies a beautiful location opposite a pretty beach, perfect for catching the waves or just building castles in the sand. At its east end is the newly re-opened Glenglassaugh Distillery, founded in 1875 and the remains of the Glassaugh Windmill, built in the early 1700s, known locally as the cup and saucer.

Nearby Portsoy is a vibrant town, attractive with it’s twisting streets around the 17th century harbour. It has a number of pubs and restaurants as well as local shops and a small supermarket. It is also the home of the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival which takes place at the end of June.

A few miles in the other direction, Cullen is also worth a visit. Driving from Sandend, the cluster of cottages making up Seatown along with a wide expanse of sandy beach, are majestically framed by the arches of the disused railway viaduct. Cullen is famed as the home of ‘Cullen Skink’ – a lovely thick potato and smoked haddock soup, as well as one of the best ice cream shops in the area.

Just a minute or two inland from Sandend, is the historic village of Fordyce. Here you will find a magical place, a warren of narrow streets still following a medieval plan, all wrapped around a magnificent centrepiece, Fordyce Castle, simply sitting on a bend in the village street. Parts of the old church yard date back to 1272 and the old bell tower has served as a prison, but now houses information panels about the village. A new addition to the village is Annie’s, an enchanting little gift and coffee
