Findochty, Banffshire

Findochty is a village in Banffshire, on the shores of the Moray Firth. In 1568 the Ord family acquired the manor, port, custom and fishers' lands of Findochty, and later built Findochty Castle, now a ruin, which stands to the west of the village. The harbour is well protected from the elements by sturdy quays, one of which is topped with a small lighthouse. The village is within the council area of Moray.
