Strichen is a small village in Aberdeenshire, in the Buchan area of north‑east Scotland. Set among rolling farmland and close to the River Ugie and local lochs, it offers easy access to coastal scenery while still feeling very much a rural inland community.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture, though many people commute to nearby coastal towns such as Fraserburgh and Peterhead for work and services. The village retains attractive stone buildings, a parish church and a lively community hub, with walking, fishing and local events reflecting its historic and social character.
