Mother to teenage twins, wife to joiner Colin, a bit of a fitness fanatic, addicted to coastal rowing (when the north Sea allows!) Love walking my black labrador Sully on Sandend beach and the stunning coastline beyond. Owner of 4 fisherman's cottages and a former police station by the sea on the Moray Firth, spread between Lossiemouth, Sandend and Portsoy. We bought the first in 2007 and completed the last in 2023!

The old police Station in Portsoy has been stripped back to it's bare walls and lovingly modernised to provide a light and bright, surprisingly spacious holiday accommodation for 4 people. It's unusual location at the side of the former railway line, means that the cottage is entered at street level from Church Street and the 2 bedrooms and bathroom are at railway level downstairs! We have endeavoured to make the living space as sustainable as possible with the best insulation, double glazing etc. Like all our properties, we welcome dogs. There are 2 outdoor lockable sheds should you wish to store bikes, SUPs or surfboards and there is an enclosed terrace garden overlooking the Wally Green. It is literally a 2 minute walk down to the historic 17th century Old Harbour, as featured in Peaky Blinders and the remake of Whisky Galore'

Portsoy is on the Moray Firth, between Aberdeen and Inverness in the North East of Scotland. It is in rural Aberdeenshire, tho not far from the border with Moray. It is on the main A98 between Fochabers and Fraserburgh. In Portsoy, turn down Church Street, opposite the Kilt Shop, down towards the Shore Inn and the old harbour. The old police station is number 47, on the left hand side, just before the bridge. Portsoy is easily accessible, with the airports at Aberdeen and Inverness around 1.5hours away, with car hire readily available. A car is recommended as public transport is not frequent or fast. However the number 35 bus runs from Elgin to Aberdeen, via Portsoy and the nearest train station is at Keith
