Whitehills

Coastal history and harbour life.

Jump to another place...

Whitehills, a charming village on the Aberdeenshire coast, is home to a modern marina bustling with yachts and pleasure craft. Once a humble fishing settlement, the village still celebrates its maritime past with stories of fishwives carrying their husbands to sea and a parish church rebuilt stone by stone from nearby Banff.

Enjoy scenic walks along the town trail and the foreshore towards Banff Links, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and haven for geologists. Slightly inland, explore Boyndie, the former RAF airfield that played a pivotal role in WWII.
