Gardenstown is a compact coastal fishing village on the north‑east coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland, tucked into Banff Bay. The village is characterised by steep, narrow streets that tumble down to a small stone harbour, low cliffs and pebble shorelines, with wide views out over the Moray Firth.
Originally formed as a fishing settlement within the parish of Gamrie, Gardenstown still has a working harbour and a stock of traditional stone cottages, though commercial fishing has reduced and tourism, holiday lets and local craft contribute to the economy. The area attracts walkers and wildlife enthusiasts for its coastal paths and seabird and dolphin sightings, while a close‑knit community preserves local festivals and village life.
