Having parked up in Buckie we started walking west, Interestingly Buckie is the end point of the Speyside Way.
It was nice to make a first stop in Buckpool to take in some views at the old harbour. There was an amazing haze over the water.
On Saturday 20th May I completed my next section of the Moray Coast Trail. This time I walked from Buckie to Lossiemouth which is the longest section.
On the way to the fish shop this morning I noticed this lovely old bell on a wall. On a dull morning this little gem made my day instantly brighter.
Graemsay Lass getting a new wheelhouse fitted by Macduff Shipyards in Buckie. An Internet search didn't turn up much on this little tug boat. The name suggests some link to the Orkneys.
Moray Endeavour in Buckie early on Thursday morning. I always find this green vessel a tricky one to photograph but I like the light on it here.
The Buckie War Memorial is located in Cluny Square. It really is an impressive war memorial to see. It has an inscription "In proud and grateful remembrance of our men who gave their lives for their country in the Great Wars 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945. Their name liveth for ever more.
The setting sun was catching this impressive church very nicely. The church is in regular use and seems to be active in the community. I liked the style of the church and it was well maintained.
Thanks for all your comments on my walk from Portnockie to Buckie. It took nearly two hours to walk back to Portnockie it was dark by the time we reached the car.
Forget pretentious Bloodless, Blue Supermoons- in Glasgow moons like this bring out all the howlers and buckie swalliers* for mayhem and mischief. There were one or two howling around the incomparable Kelvingrove Museum while I was lining up these shots!
[* "buckie swallier", Glaswegian Scots, noun. An enthusiastic imbiber of Buckfast Fortified Tonic Wine 15%ABV]
The coastal walk from Finechty to Buckie was much closer to the sea. The path was very good it was very up and down in places. It was amazing to see dolphins off the coast.
Reaching cloud-base over the back of the Bin of Cullen - lower right - looking out over the Moray coast. From left to right, the coastal villages are Buckie, Findochty, Portknockie, and Cullen. Across the Moray Firth, there's a wee bit of Sutherland, or maybe Caithness, to be seen on the horizon.
For the meteorologists, the prevailing wind has to ride over the billowing cumulous cloud, causing a hint of a lenticular cloud to form; they're more often and easily seen on their own when strong winds have blown across the mountains. Also, there's a hint of a spectre at the bottom-right of the frame, as I was flying through the wispy edges of another cloud here.
How many buckfast bottles can you count? Beware of rouge green bottles that don't have the infamous yellow label!
This was my turning point I was almost in Seatown I now had to walk all the way back to the car. As you can see there are plenty seagulls on the rocks. I only had a couple of hours in Buckie I enjoyed my trip I have one last picture to show you.
Harvest Moon UL40 in Buckie this morning. Hard to believe this boat was built in 1973 as Laurisa. I saw it as Green Brae INS208 in Lossie in 1993, it then went to Ireland for a spell. They are not long finished ten weeks of rework through in Fraserburgh which explains why it looks so fresh.
Fishing Trawler Summerton (BCK 6) a long way from her home port of Buckie Scotland as emblazoned on her stern, seen here at Carmet Marine Bromborough on the Wirral Cheshire.
Buckie sunset
From the Bow Fiddle Rock we headed to Buckie for a nice meal at Bijou by the Sea.
It really is “by the sea”, so it offered wonderful views of the sunset.

This fish farm barge is being fitted out at Buckie. Probably for treating salmon of sea lice, which is a big concern of fish farmed in sea cages on the west coast.
The neat little harbour and coastal tug Amy Jane back in the water at Buckie. Still some finishing touches to be done before it's complete.
I took this picture trying to get a heightened view of the harbour but I captured the local bowling green and some houses instead. Although the sky was blue it was pretty chilly I did not meet any locals.
The 20 metre long scallop dredger Eternal Promise alongside in Buckie. Built by Macduff Shipyards in 2024 it is slightly longer than its sister vessel Eternal Light although they look very similar in layout.
Another reminder that there was once a railway that connected Cullen, Buckie, Portgordon, Garmouth and Lossiemouth. We all know know now short sighted these closures were in the 1960's. It must have been a lovely train journey along the coast.
Blue skies and blue seas it was so nice and calm. I would like to visit Buckie on a stormy day and see this harbour. I would also like to walk out to the old harbour light and get a better capture of it.
Yesterday I took a trip up to Buckie and it was a lovely day, bright and sunny. I had only been to Buckie once before and it was raining so I made up for it yesterday. I was very pleased to find the RNLI lifeboat and it really stands out with its bright colours. We all know the invaluable service these people do in all sorts of weather.
