Whitehills : Profile

Location

Whitehills is a small former fishing port on the southern shore of the Moray Firth, about 3NM NW of Banff, roughly midway between Lossiemouth and Fraserburgh.

Position 57°40.8'N, 02°34.8'W.

Docking

The harbour is sheltered but the narrow entrance is open to the NW/N and it can be unsafe to approach if there is heavy surge.

The entrance and harbour is dredged to a minimum of 1.5m.

See the Harbour Master for a berth on the pontoons in the inner harbour.
