Europe's busiest fishing port with over 400 boats and a bustling daily fishmarket and 100-berth leisure Marina. The Maritime Heritage Centre tells the story of the local sailors, whalers and fisher folk. Arbuthnot Museum depicts the town's fishing and whaling history. Ugie Salmon Fishings, Scotland's oldest salmon fish house sells direct to the public. To the North is the important RSPB Reserve, Loch of Strathbeg.
