Portsoy

Portsoy is a delightful small fishing village on the Moray coast, with what looked like three harbours. It was a warm day and many children and adults were sporting in the shallowest one of them.

Being picturesque, Portsoy has featured in several films and TV series.

This sculpture of a dolphin overlooks the harbours and the sea:-
