Portknockie Property For Sale & Rent

Portknockie still remains a fishing village to the west of Cullen Bay. The first houses were built here in 1677 by fishermen from Cullen who were attracted by the excellent natural harbour. A deep-water harbour was constructed in the late 19th cent., and the place became one of the most flourishing of the Moray Firth herring ports. The fishing fleet has practically vanished, and the harbour is now busy with recreational marine activity: it is the pro­jected base for a marina. Portknockie, since the local people are great believers in fresh paint, is one of the cleanest and brightest villages in Scotland.
