Just 34 miles from the city of Aberdeen, Peterhead is proud of its thriving fishing industry and bustling Marina. Surrounded by the stunning North-East coastline, the local area is home to the ‘Bullers of Buchan’; dramatic sea caves that formed a blowhole and natural arches along the coast.  The coast between Cruden Bay and Boddam village is also home to Slains Castle.  This imposing, atmospheric ruined castle sits high on the cliffs overlooking the north sea.  It is said that the castle was inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula!   Peterhead has a vast array of shops, both local and national chain stores, to cater to the needs of all.  With leisure facilities  and some of the most picturesque beaches in the world, Peterhead has a lot to offer.  Whether you choose to live in the lively town or the peaceful countryside, we believe you could find your next home in Aberdeenshire!
