Gourdon is a small coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, sitting on the north‑east shoreline facing the North Sea. It has a compact harbour and a string of traditional cottages clustered around the coast, with rocky foreshore and cliffs that give pleasant coastal walks and sea views.

Historically a fishing community, Gourdon still retains that maritime character with local seafood and small‑scale boat activity, while tourism and holiday lets have become more important in recent years. The village is known for its close‑knit community, simple coastal charm and easy access to neighbouring towns and the surrounding Aberdeenshire countryside.
