Portsoy is a small coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, perched on the north‑east shore of the Moray Firth. It’s best known for its pretty, stone‑lined old harbour and narrow streets that reflect a long history of fishing and boatbuilding, and the settlement retains a compact, conservation‑area feel rather than modern sprawl.
The village has a lively cultural life for its size - famous locally for Portsoy “marble” jewellery and for hosting the annual Scottish Traditional Boat Festival which draws classic boats and visitors every summer. Today the economy mixes small‑scale fishing with tourism, crafts and hospitality, while coastal walks and community events keep it socially active.
