Whitehills

Whitehills is a small coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, tucked on the southern shore of the Moray Firth. It has a pretty sandy beach and a modest harbour, and the shoreline offers open views across the North Sea with good opportunities for birdwatching and seal-spotting. The village sits close to the market town of Banff and serves as a quiet base for coastal walks and sailing.

Historically a fishing community, Whitehills still reflects its maritime roots while gradually developing a small tourism trade of holiday cottages and day visitors. Local life centres on community groups and seasonal events rather than large commercial facilities, giving it a relaxed, village atmosphere that many find appealing for short breaks or a quieter pace of life.
