Portsoy Old Harbour

Portsoy Old Harbour sits on the Moray Firth coast of Aberdeenshire and is one of the most photographed features in the village.

Dating to the seventeenth century, it is instantly recognisable for its distinctive horizontal stonework, which echoes the natural rock formations along this stretch of coastline.

The harbour covers approximately 3,800 m² with 200 m of quay and is sheltered from northwest gales by the headland and North Pier.

Today it serves as the focal point for the annual Portsoy Traditional Boat Festival, held each summer, drawing visitors to what was once a busy working harbour on the Banffshire coast.
