Sweets in Buckie: Cluny Harbour and Moray's Fishing Port

Buckie's population sits at around 9,000, but in its herring heyday this stretch of the Moray Firth coast supported one of the busiest fishing fleets in Scotland.

Cluny Harbour, and a Town Built From Four Villages

Buckie itself grew out of the merger of several separate fishing settlements — Nether Buckie, Easter Buckie, Yardie and Portessie — strung along the Moray Firth coast. Its centrepiece is Cluny Harbour, built in 1877 by the Cluny family at a cost of £60,000. It's the largest harbour in Moray and was, in its day, one of the finest fishing harbours in Scotland, built to handle a herring fleet that made Buckie one of the northeast's most important ports.

A Fishing Town, Not a Sweet Shop Town

Buckie's high street reflects its working harbour heritage more than any sweet-making tradition — there's no historic confectioner here the way Belfast has Aunt Sandra's or Hawick has its peppermint bools. For pick 'n' mix by the bag, bulk bags for a break room, or a vegan-friendly party bag, Buckie shoppers are ordering online the same as everywhere else.
