Durn Hill (653 feet) is situated roughly a mile (1.5 km) to the southwest of Portsoy. The trenches of an Iron-Age hill fort can be seen near its summit.
Sandend is a small fishing village near Banff and Portsoy, Scotland, typical of the area. 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. (Wikipedia)
