Portessie

Portessie (Scots: Peterhythe or The Sloch)[1] is a small fishing village east of Buckie, on the north-east coast of Scotland.

To the west is the March Road Industrial Estate, with a fish processing factory and the home of Cruickshanks, who make soft drinks.

Strathlene Golf Club is east of the village, and is split into two fields – containing 14 and 4 holes respectively.

The yearly Peter Fair, or Rathven Market can be attributed to Portessie but is more commonly linked to the community of Buckie as a whole.

To the south of the village is a small community called Rathven which is home to two graveyards.
