Sandend
Sandend (Scots: Sanine)[1] is a small fishing village near Banff and Portsoy, Scotland, typical of the area.
Old fishers' cottages in Sandend, built with the gables facing seawards
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was an active village. There were two fish-houses in Sandend (Smith's and McKay's). After McKay's relocation to Buckie, only Smith's remains in Sandend.
It now is a popular place for caravaners, holidaymakers and watersports enthusiasts. Local attractions include a sandy beach and an annual kipper barbecue, held in summer.
In January 2018, locals opposed plans for a wind farm, the Moray West Offshore Windfarm, that would have affected the beach. In July 2018 the wind farm was moved further up the coast.[1][2]
It is home to the Glenglassaugh distillery.[3]
