Sandend (Scots: Sanine)[1] is a small fishing village near Banff and Portsoy, Scotland, typical of the area.
After McKay's relocation to Buckie, only Smith's remains in Sandend.
Local attractions include a sandy beach and an annual kipper barbecue, held in summer.
In January 2018, locals opposed plans for a wind farm, the Moray West Offshore Windfarm, that would have affected the beach.
[5] Findlater Castle is nearby, while Birkenbog House, built in the early 18th century, is the ancient seat of the Abercrombies, who eventually left for Glassaugh.
