A STUNNING Scottish coastal walk through six historic fishing harbours & a race against the sunset!

- On the east coast of Scotland, crisp, clear winter days are not as rare as you may think, and we use this one to have a crack at 'The Six Harbours Walk' which was a subscriber recommendation and a lot harder than we expected!
Join us as we arrive in beautiful Portsoy before hiking the coast westbound all the way to Buckie, passing some absolutely gorgeous harbours and scenery along the way. The official distance of this walk is 15 miles (24km) although with a detour and a lot of running about, I'm pretty sure we went a good bit further than that.
Filmed on Monday 13th February 2023.

Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

This coastline is sooooo beautiful! Stunning views!
You look familiar 🧐 I’ve seen you somewhere 😁
Please make your own videos
would be epic ps I love Steve
Much respect to you two. Coastal walking is stunning but much harder than you'd think, that 15 miles plus ascent and descent is probably equivalent of 20+ regular miles. Really interesting little harbours and rock features. I do love Alicija's Polish/Scots accent too 🥰
Thanks so much from us both mate! Aye, it sure was more of a struggle in reality :D
Such a glorious day for a stroll. Thanks for taking us along. I'll buy the next ice cream round!
Really enjoyed this video mate. The weather and scenery is absolutely second to none! The shot at the end of the video of the sun was top notch 🏴☀️
Cheers Arron! I'm glad we made it just as the sun was dropping, can't imagine some of those paths in the dark :D
I was literally up here on Tuesday! Never went to all six but we done Cullen to Portsoy and back after watching your last video of this coast! Gorgeous part of the world, that doesn’t seem to get much love!
Thanks again, guys!
Haha no way! Thanks so much for walking it again with us :D
How lucky are we Steve to live in such a beautiful place here in Scotland and in the UK x great video certainly has put me in the mood for a wee trip x
Cheers Sandra! We sure are and it makes me think we need to get out and discover more of these lesser known trails
What a lovely scenic video Steve and Alicia. Nothing beats our Braw and Bonnie Scotland 👍💙🏴
Cheers Wendy! It was such a joy doing this walk in the middle of winter!
Thanks for taking us on yet another beautiful marathon of a walk! Hats off to you both as thats a long,long walk,stunning coastline and harbours,wish Id half of your energy! Hope you both got and enjoyed your takeaway,it was well deserved x
Ha we both polished off a takeaway in no time at all. Inhaled rather than eaten :) Thanks Isobel!
Stunning views of stunning sea villages. As a Scot I am ashamed that as far as I can remember I never visited any on those places. But the design and style of the harbours and gable end houses is just ubiquitous. Well done.
Cheers Alex! Oh don't feel bad, we were the same to be honest, but definitely a worthy addition to the videos list and a good old race against the sunset :)
I like to watch Steve and your partner and you have a wonderful walk round Scotland and the mountains and walk ways and the beach is beautiful and nice and sunny and peaceful thanks Steve
Thanks Elaine! It was a beautiful day and I'm so glad we squeezed everything out of it :)
Amazing. I feel like I could smell the sea. thank you for this trip in Scotland, which I love very much
Thanks Laura! It was a fun day out, but boy did we sleep well that night :D
That was breathtaking Steve. You nailed the weather and that sunset was unreal so I must have a ride along that coast myself someday. I love it when you film these sort of walks as you and Alijca always put your heart and soul into it. A cracking day out 👍
Cheers mate! We were happy to squeeze everything out of that glorious day, and so much more to see on that coastline, well worth a look. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Steve. Another fantastic video with such amazing scenery. You both compliment each other so well, and it's always entertaining watching your adventures.
Thanks so much Bryce!
Such a beautiful part of the world. Upon retiring as a Captain in the Merchant Navy my Great Uncle became the harbour master at Buckie. He was also coxswain of the lifeboat. Another very enjoyable video.
Nice! And it was a beautiful sunset as we arrived there!
Steve, wanted to let you know I just finished the walk. Thanks to your video. Beautiful scenery, we got lucky with the weather and saw dolphins as well.
Amazing Martin! Well done!!!! It's a tough old walk eh? Glad you saw some dolphins too, superb timing! :)
What a beautiful coastline. Thank you for taking me there.
An absolute pleasure!
You both have such great adventures. Another great video. Well done Steve and Alicjia 👍
Thanks so much Scott, really enjoyed this one and glad we (just about) made it in daylight!
As I sit on my balcony on the ocean in Perth (australia), sipping my wine watching the sun go down after a glorious summer day, taking in all the beautiful scenery of your fabulous walk....I ponder........how the blazes did you get back to your car!
Love so much your travel journeys, Scotland is such a beautiful place, I love it!
Haha love it Mairi :D Enjoy that wine!
They took the bus Mairi. Info at the end of the video.
What beautiful weather and spectacular scenery!
Greta day for it eh Derrick!
Glad to see you took my advice and did the walk. I forgot to mention it is a bit of a trek! 😂 Also, the signs on the buildings at Portsoy harbour are left over from the filming of Peaky Blinders season 6.
Ahhhh I wish I'd known this! Brilliant! And what a great suggestion Peter :)
These beautiful beaches, villages and harbors makes me want to move up there, Gorgeous and the views 😍
A beautiful walk. Going on my Scotland bucketlist 🏴👍🏻
Oh well worth adding this coast to the list :)
What beautiful scenery - thanks for taking us on the walk with you!🤩 We had the easy part 😂
Absolutely pleasure, thank you!
I was lucky enough to spend many holidays in Buckie. When I was a teenager in the 1950s I loved the place it was so quiet and peaceful apart from the pub at the weakend the pub was called craigenroan it was a fantastic 😊place it’s well worth a visit
Absolutely a stunning video again. @3:15 you are jealous about the camper but I am jealous about the both of you. For living in scenic Scotland. 😄 Keep healthy and keep those videos coming. Greetings from the Netherlands
Cheers Henk, have a great weekend!
Catching up Steve, so interesting, not a part of Scotland we know. Thanks both.
A beautiful walk I so enjoyed seeing the little villages and the sea views, thanks for taking me along it was marvellous, as always stay safe and cheers.
Cheers Simon! A real gem of a walk (despite how challenging it was) :)
Fantastic job Steve & Alicja. You deserve way more than takeaway. @29:01 = breathtaking. Thank you as always for taking us along.
Cheers Phil! Aye, the takeaway was inhaled pretty quick :D
Portsoy is really good. Great history of smuggling...Thank you both.
Oh need to read up on that sounds right up my street (as a story, I'm not a smuggler) :D
7 months ago I previously visited this wonderful tube you both created its 3degc at 7-35,am in te Awamutu NZ Thank you
Steve & Alitcia
Kind regards David
I grew up in this area of Aberdeenshire and watching this video brought back a lot of memories . Your videos are fantastic , please keep making them !
Thanks so much for coming along to some familiar places!
Hello from Australia.I really enjoyed the video,thanks so much to both of you for showing the beautiful coastline of Scotland.Some of those beaches are a match for anything we have in Australia.Can’t wait until I can get over to Scotland to see the land of my father with my family.Cheers to both of you.
All the best getting over for a visit David, maybe we can do a house-swap :D
Stunning views and beautiful scenery
Such spectacular scenery! Scotland has so much to offer!
Love this Steve & Alicja , great job showing off a lovely part of the world 👍
Cheers Jim! A cracking day oot!
@@steve-marsh a long day but a very rewarding one I'm sure Steve , keep up the good work 👍
You found and showed us another set of hidden gems. Blue skies and stunning villages. And your humour makes it all the more entertaining. 🥰
Cheers Michael!
Beautiful scenery
You always never fail to produce a stunning walk along the Scottish coast line with its hidden out of the way places Steve, so much beauty a real paradise as you say, although Alicja didn’t want an ice cream when you found the shop open, she sure did enjoy what was left of yours, but it did look and sound delicious, i always have to go hunting in my kitchen when I watch your videos Steve, I want an ice cream now, but have three temporary fillings so it maybe a bit of a challenge, I might just risk it! thanks 🙏 for an interesting 15mile walk 🤗
Haha go for it and mix some blueberries in for the true Cullen experience :)
@@steve-marsh I went for it, it was ‘Mackies’ traditional dairy ice cream, with cherries 🍒 from the freezer, when your several miles from the nearest shop, you can’t be choosy! 😋
Simply stunning
Thoroughly enjoyed this videos, as I do all your videos. Heading to this coastline in June, so having seen this, making us looking forward now, with 2 dogs in tow, they'll love all the beaches etc. Thanks again Steve. Keep up the good work
Oh you have 2 very lucky dogs! :)
Well done you two! I'm glad you enjoyed my favourite part of Scotland and had a beautiful day for it. The video finale was stunning!
Glad you are back to your walks and drives around Scotland. I’m afraid I have not been watching your trips abroad, .I’m only interested in Scotland, because I am very widely traveled ( I am 82) . I am an expat that have lived in Vancouver for 56yrs , but never traveled much in the land I was born . Too busy working , so now I go back every year and do tours . I am very interested Scotland as my brother lives on the Isle of Skye , my husband’s ancestors came form Buckhaven , and I was able to take some of my husband’s ashes there , when I was on Rabbies tour. They even played”, The flowers of Scotland” when I got back on the coach
, very emotional .❤️🇨🇦
Thanks so much Jean, and totally understandable. I will keep mixing in my other adventures as well (because I love doing them) but there are a number of people who only watch the Scottish ones and in a way that makes me proud :D
Great stuff you two, thoroughly enjoyed this one, stunning scenery & great commentary as usual, cheers again
Cheers Pete, appreciate it mate!
Fabulous. Really enjoyed this Steve & Alicja, thank you for taking us along on your walk. Stunning coastline and villages ❤
Thanks Judy!
Steve, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I’m enjoying my armchair travel with you. I particularly liked this one because i spent time in Buckie back in the seventies - it was a very friendly village then and looks quite modern now. Hi to the Buchan family 😊
Stunning looking walk!
Class mate!!More videos of our beautiful wee country please,i could watch them all day,cheers👍
Thank you both for a beautiful day along a coast I have my eye on to explore myself
Cheers Russ! Well worth it if you get the chance
Got me feeling homesick!!
thank you for a great trip. beautiful coast and great coastal towns👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you :)
Hi Steve!
Thank you!
Fantastic!!
Well done you two excellent work and it’s a superb part of Scotland
Cheers David!
What a stunning walk. It's a coastline I've never visited but often heard mentioned on the Radio Scotland "out of doors"" radio show. Thanks to you both for bringing this area so vividly to life. It's now on my must visit list.
Beautiful coast lines
Lovely to be taken on walks I couldn't do myself, or maybe one day if I get new knees! It's nice to recognise places you've taken us already, I'm with you on the Cullen skink! Thanks for a fab trip out you two xx
So very well done guys 😎.
That should be a major walk in Scotland 🏴,
Beautiful Scotland once again 🤠
Totally agree Douglas, cheers!
Beautiful, facinating nature! Again, thank you for lifting my mood, guys.
Such beautiful places, thanks for sharing them with us.
You're absolutely welcome :)
Great walk along a fabulously beautiful coastline. Props to you both for doing the walk!
Cheers Barney! We slept well that night :)
That was a lovely winter walk to watch today ..Thanks guys you made it fun....One for my Scottish trip list xxx 🥰
Thanks so much for coming along Sue!
Amazing video Steve. Love the scenery and quaint old stone villages. Took me back to growing up in a fishing town with very similar stone houses and rugged scenery. Thanks for the tour of the six harbours brought back fond memories.
Cheers Michael! Glad to bring back some nice memories :)
Well done on a fantastic walk. It's given me an idea to go and do that walk this year xx
Well worth it if you get the chance Tricia! :)
Walking allows one to truly appreciated the beauty of this coast. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic video. So glad that you returned to this area. It truly is a beautiful coastline.
And worth even more exploration! Cheers Alister!
Thanks for another stunning video! Bringing back some lovely memories of our holiday last year stayed in Banff and drove all that coast loved all the little harbours so beautiful. You to are amazing thank you x from North Shropshire. We are staying in Glasgow in may
Have a cracking trip to Glasgow! That coast is special eh and we've barely scratched the surface!
Thank you for bringing back memories of my childhood your presentation is down to earth I spent my early in Newcastle with trips north into Scotland and across to the Peak District. Now I live the other side of the world but I still my old home
I so enjoy all your great videos. I just keep bouncing from one to the next since I found you a couple of weeks ago. You two are a wonderful pair who work so well together. This vid. Really hit home as I live on a beach on the West Coast of Canada ❤ Barnie 🇨🇦
Another great video. Lovely scenery. Beautiful sunset. Well done to you both.
Lovely sea beautiful cottages and I love the dolphin early on
Cheers John, gorgeous coastline!
What a stunning walk
Another incredible video guys. Those sunset shots in particular. Some day, I will get there.
Cheers Marie! We sure did pick a good day for it!
Thankyou from England beautiful couple by god you too fit as fiddles much love enjoyed very much ❤❤❤ love from Minnie.
Okay this is now on my bucket list. How stunning.
Totally worthy of its place on your list Tami :)
Beautiful walk. Thanks for sharing guys.
Our absolute pleasure :) Thanks for coming along!
Beautiful villages along a very picturesque coastline, that can't of been easy, well done you two 👏
Cheers mate, aye we slept well that night!
Another great video. I need to go back to Scotland. I've been to Edinburgh a few times and loved it, but I want to see more of the country. Glad I discovered your channel over the holidays and look forward to the videos when they come out on Saturdays. Cheers.
Thanks so much! Edinburgh is spectacular, but it's always worth getting out of the city if you have the time :)
When it feels like I'm there with you, that's when I know you are doing an awesome job bringing us these tours. A true highlight getting to know another part of the country I've not been too. 👍
Thanks so much Alan! :)
That looks like a great hike. Coastal scenery is spectacular around Scotland. When I went to Portknockie, to see Bow Fiddle Rock, it certainly wasn't as nice weather as you got.
Great video Steve and Alicja. Enjoy all of your videos but especially the ones around Scotland. Lovely country.
Thanks Pat, I enjoy my travels as well, but always nice to be back home :)
Absolutely loved this. So pretty. Thank you!
Our absolute pleasure Maggie!
Great channel Steve, love watching you guys and all your adventures.
Thanks so much Jeff!
Incredible views thanks for taking us along both of you 🙂
An absolute pleasure!
Another stunning video, Steve. Our feet are hurting just from watching it! You both did really well walking so far. What a beautiful part of the coast it is. Thanks again, can't wait for the next.
Thanks so much guys! It was a fun day but boy did we sleep well that night!
You both did a fantastic job, amazing.
And what about the views... outstanding.
Cheers.
Thank you very much Roger!
beautiful coastline👍
So true Graham!
Absolutely stunning 😍
Really enjoyed this walk. The coast looks so beautiful in the winter sun. I’m glad you both made it to the end notwithstanding all your wee stopping points. Well done to you both. Enjoy your take away. 👏👍
Thanks Ruth! So glad we made it in (almost) daylight, wouldn't have liked to be on the trail in darkness!
Great video. I've walked the Fife Coastal Path and those villages are out of this world. More please!
Good effort - it's some challenge that, our feet took a while to recover after the FCP!
I loved this video Steve. Brought back many happy memories. I used to regularly stay in this area, with relatives in Sandend. It's a beautiful part of the world. Findlater Castle was a favourite. On the journey up to the area, we used to drive through the Spittal of Glenshee. We always passed a statue of an elderly couple on a bench , entitled 'Tommy and Wife'. I watched the video you made going through this area to Aviemore and you didn't mention it. I wondered if it was still there. We love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Nice walk, lovely day for Feb.
Thank you very much for your videos! I am taking inspiration and literally creating a list of places to visit. Hopefully, one day, when I'll be close enough to Scotland, I am gonna do a complete tour of these wee sea villages, they are simply wonderful!
Cheers from Italy! :)
Thanks mate!
I done several of the harbours in Fife after watching your coast walk last year And so this must be on this year's list, superb trek Alijca and Steve.
Keep those ideas coming.
Cheers Alistair! Right up there with the best of Fife!
So beautiful, I love all the stone cottages, what a wonderful place to live
So true Elaine!
Looks a nice area to visit with great views and blue sky, Never been to this area of Scotland
Well worth a look if you get the chance on a day like this :)
Another great video from my two favourite explorers.What a gorgeous area , you are so lucky.Its great to see places that I am now too old too achieve on foot, but feel like I am with you all the way but without getting out of breath or tired legs. Thankyou so much!. Stay safe, see you on our next adventure.
Thanks for coming along as always Bob! :)
Wonderful video again great scenery 👍
What a stunning walk ❤
Even better than we expected Mark!
That was AWESOME guy's. I could never do that walk now...Thank's for sharing it with us...:):):)
I hope Alicja feet were ok this time.
In that other video with all that trouble with her feet I really felt for her...:(:(:(
Cheers Harry, aye we learned some lessons from the last one and all was good :)
Thanks that was an absolutely beautiful video 👍
Our pleasure James! :)
Fantastic video, I’ve been to all the places but normally driving through. I think I’ll do some wild camping on some of these beaches in the summer with the kids. Brilliant, keep up the good work guys, also loved the pub tours 👍💥
Cheers James! Aye we've got some wild camping ideas from that one too!
Wow so beautiful from start to finish 🤗🤗
Thank you so much 😊
