About the area

Gamrie has a long history as a fishing village, with its economy historically centered around the North Sea herring and white fish industries. The village developed around its harbor and remains a working fishing community with traditional stone cottages reflecting its maritime past. Aberdeenshire has been a significant region since medieval times, home to numerous castles and strongholds of Scottish clans. The area played an important role in Scottish history, particularly during conflicts with England, and developed a strong agricultural and fishing economy.

5 CAMC CL pitches and 8 licensed fully serviced pitches. No tents allowed.

Places to visit near Gamrie Bay CL Site

Pennan Filming Location
Pennan
Pennan is a tiny, sheltered fishing village on Scotland’s northeast coast, tucked beneath steep cliffs along the Moray Firth. With its whitewashed cottages, narrow single-track road, and dramatic sea views, it feels largely unchanged for decades and is known for its quiet, remote atmosphere. Pennan became internationally famous after appearing in the film Local Hero (1983), where its red telephone box on the seafront became an iconic symbol of the movie. The village was used extensively for exterior scenes, portraying the fictional coastal village of Ferness. Today, that same phone box remains a popular photo stop for visitors following in the footsteps of the film. Visitors to Pennan can walk the small harbour, explore the pebble beach, and take in sweeping coastal views where dolphins are sometimes spotted offshore. Nearby highlights include the villages of Gardenstown (Gamrie) and Crovie, both similarly picturesque and used in film and photography for their dramatic cliffside settings. The wider Aberdeenshire coastline offers quiet walking routes, historic fishing communities, and some of the most atmospheric coastal scenery in Scotland.

Findlater Castle
Findlater Castle
Findlater Castle is a spectacularly sited ruined castle clinging to a steep rocky headland on the Aberdeenshire coast near Cullen, high above the Moray Firth. Dating from the 15th century, it was the clifftop stronghold of the Ogilvy family, later Earls of Findlater, before they abandoned it for more comfortable quarters inland. Today only fragmentary walls survive, best appreciated from the clifftop path above — a dramatic, windswept ruin prized more for its setting than any surviving rooms.
