A tiny museum but absolutely stuffed full of fascinating history, heritage, artefacts and documents. There's a great team of volunteers who run this museum and they are very good at enabling visitors to make the most of the extensive collection. Free to visit, free parking and level access.
Packed full of exhibits, the model boats were stunning. Lots of information but the volunteers were outstanding I could have sat there all day listening to their recollections of the past. Outstanding you must visit, free entry as well!!

The soul of Buckie is in these walls! So much history preserved by kind gentlemen of days gone bye. Fishing and antiques memorabilia, well organised and displayed. Cannot wait to go back and learn a bit more about this bonny town which is now our home!
Excellent place to visit to explore the lives of fishermen and women and boat building in the area. Great artifacts and such knowledgable and friendly volunteers recounting history. Well worth a visit.
