More about this Streamdays hosted webcam
Banff, in Aberdeenshire, is one of those undiscovered, unspoilt areas full of history and tradition, but with a modern approach to life. This webcam shows Banff Harbour and the view out to the choppy North Sea.
Banff has had a port since the 1100s, and there is evidence that King Malcolm IV of Scotland lived here for at least part of 1163. The town's harbour silted up and fell into disuse in the 1800s, leaving Macduff, on the east side of Banff Bay, to take up the role of principal commercial port along this stretch of coast.
Banff is no longer a commercial port and harbour, but still serves a great deal of local and leisure water traffic. The area is well worth a look for its fascinating Georgian architecture and the "upper town".
Along the same stretch of coast you'll find places like Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Macduff, Rosehearty, buckie and Portnockie.
