Map of the UK

Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, Scotland is a small coastal village tucked on the south side of the Ythan Estuary where the river meets the North Sea. The shore and nearby Sands of Forvie support extensive dunes, seals and rich birdlife, so it’s a well‑known spot for birdwatching and quiet coastal walks.

Historically a fishing and farming community with a modest harbour, Newburgh today blends agriculture and tourism and serves as a peaceful base for people commuting into Aberdeen. The village retains a strong local feel with a village hall, small shops and seasonal visitors drawn by the wildlife, wide beaches and coastal scenery.
