Portknockie

Portknockie is a charming coastal village located in the northeast of Scotland, known for its stunning natural beauty and picturesque fishing harbor. The village is a popular destination for photographers, offering a range of stunning locations to capture the essence of Scotland's rugged coastline. From the dramatic cliffs and rock formations to the quaint cottages and colorful boats in the harbor, Portknockie is a photographer's paradise. The village is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Bow Fiddle Rock, a natural arch that has become an iconic symbol of the Scottish coast.
