2026 Buckie Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in September)

The beauty of the Scottish coast has an effortless elegance. Duncansby Sea Stacks carries a raw and majestic power, while Bow Fiddle Rock is like a work of art sculpted by the sea breeze and time. Standing here, you'll suddenly realize: the most awe-inspiring landscapes are often the quietest.

Located at the north-east of Scotland, 121 miles from Edinburgh, lies 2 spectacular landmarks - Cullen Viaduct in Cullen and Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie. Cullen Viaduct consisted of several arches that looks like it’s from the Harry Potter movie (but it isn’t). It was used to be a viaduct for the Great North of Scotland Railway which was closed on 1968. As for the Bow Fiddle Rock, it’s a natural sea arch that resembled the tip of a fiddle bow. It’s a popular tourist attraction and also a nesting place for sea birds! So, if you’re doing a road trip around Scotland, you may add these onto your “to-visit” places! #tripblazers #scotland #bridge #uk #darwintravel

#hikingtime An enjoyable walk along the coastline and cliffs between the former “Old Banffshire” fishing villages of Findochty and Portknockie. Findochty harbour now has a marina for leisure craft and is a very pretty and attractive spot. It is also the site of a well-known and very photogenic natural sea arch, the “Bow Fiddle Rock”, so called because it resembles the tip of a fiddle bow.
