Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Portknockie

The coastal village of Portknockie lies on the Moray Firth, on the northeast coast of Scotland. The village has a harbour and is an excellent place to spot dolphins. The oldest part of Portknockie lies above the harbour, with historic fishermen’s cottages and wynds. Founded in 1677, it was a major herring fishing port during the 19th century. Just off the coast, Bow Fiddle Rock is a spectacular sea arch resembling a fiddle's bow. As you explore the rugged clifftops near your Portknockie holiday cottage, look out for seabirds, including kittiwake, fulmar and razorbill. The remains of an ancient fort known as Green Castle can be found on a dramatic headland overlooking the waves. By the harbour, there is a lovely tidal swimming pool. A stroll away from holiday cottages in Portknockie, a range of shops can be found in and around the village square. Enjoying a local whisky at the Victoria Hotel or the Seafield Inn is highly recommended. One of many beautiful sandy beaches can be found in the neighbouring village of Cullen. The wild landscapes of the Cairngorms National Park are a scenic drive southward from Portknockie, and the city of Inverness lies to the west.
