Buckie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Buckie" may also refer to Buckfast Tonic Wine.
Buckie (Gaelic: Bucaidh) is a burgh town of about 9,000 inhabitants on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland in Moray. Once a thriving fishing and shipbuilding port, these industries have declined. Food processing remains important, with large fish factories and smoke houses found around the harbour. The Buckie Shipyard now builds and refurbishes lifeboats for much of the United Kingdom. A significant part of the population works in the offshore oil industry.
Buckie High School [1] is located in Buckie on West Cathcart Street. Adjacent to the school is Victoria Park, home of Buckie Thistle Football Club.
Buckie is at the end of the Speyside Way long distance footpath. There is magnificent coastal scenery all along the Banff coast, with easy access to areas such as Glenlivet, Speyside and the Cairngorms.
