Buckpool

Buckpool Harbour was built in 1857 by local laird, Sir Robert Gordon of Cluny.

It was unpopular due to silting, hence fishermen moved to the larger Cluny Harbour in Buckie once it was completed by 1877.

Buckpool Harbour was filled in with stones from the neighbouring Yardie beach in the 1970s and landscaped into a park.

Buckpool Golf Club's 18 hole links-style course was created in the 1930s.

Part of the purpose of the project was to create jobs in a time of high unemployment, especially in the herring fishing industry.

Until 1960, Buckpool was served by Buckpool railway station on the Great North of Scotland line
