The coastal village of Findochty, where Holly Hoose is situated, is characterized by its serene harbor known as Crooked Haven. While it has a small sheltered beach at Long Head and a welcoming pub overlooking the harbor, the village primarily caters to leisure sailors rather than commercial fishing, as local fishing activities have shifted towards Buckie. Visitors can enjoy the scenic Moray Coast, famous for its Whisky Trail, historic homes, gardens, and beautiful sandy beaches, making it a perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
In addition to its natural beauty, the region surrounding Buckie offers a wealth of attractions and activities. Cultural highlights include Portsoy Pottery and the Banff Museum, while family-friendly spots such as Harbour Treasures and the Macduff Marine Aquarium provide entertainment for children. For those who enjoy sports, there are nearby golf courses and opportunities for cycling and hiking, ensuring that Holly Hoose serves as an excellent base for experiencing the rich heritage and stunning landscapes of Scotland’s north east coast.
